Synopsis for the Gulf of America

336 PM EDT Thu Jun 11 2026



.SYNOPSIS...A modest high is expected to develop over the

northeastern Gulf on Fri, then persist through Tue. Farther 

south, a broad trough of low pressure over the Yucatan Peninsula

should gradually move into the the Bay of Campeche tonight and 

Fri. The low pressure will then move northwestward toward the 

coast of Tamaulipas state in northeast Mexico through Sat night. 

The gradient between the low pressure and the high pressure over 

the northeastern Gulf will support a plume of fresh to strong SE 

winds and moderate to rough seas from the northwestern Yucatan 

Peninsula to the coast of Texas through at least Sat night. The 

low pressure will be accompanied by numerous showers and 

thunderstorms across the western Gulf. Winds and seas will 

diminish early next week after the low pressure moves inland and 

weakens.
