Synopsis for the Gulf of America

1000 PM EST Sat Feb 28 2026



.SYNOPSIS...A nearly stationary front extends from near

Venice, Florida southwestward to a 1014 mb low near 25N86W. 

Isolated moderate convection are present near and ahead of the 

front. This activity will continue southeastward across the far 

SE Gulf tonight. The stationary front will transition to a 

weakening cold front this evening and slowly move southeastward, 

exiting the basin tonight. Afterward, a strong high pressure 

system will build west-southwestward over the area from the N 

Atlantic beginning on Sun night, with the related gradient 

generally supporting moderate to fresh east to southeast winds 

across the Gulf. Locally strong winds will occur at night off the 

northern Yucatan Peninsula Tue through Thu.
