Synopsis for the Gulf of America

1011 PM EDT Wed Jun 3 2026



.SYNOPSIS...A few showers and thunderstorms are active along a 

stationary front extending from southwest Florida to southeast 

Louisiana. Stronger thunderstorms are active farther south to the

north of the Yucatan Channel, and to the east of a trough

extending along roughly 90W from the north-central Gulf into the

Yucatan Channel. The trough will track north-northwestward 

through Fri. Interaction between this trough and the front is 

going to sustain fresh to strong ENE to SE winds with moderate to 

rough seas across the central and eastern Gulf, north of 25N 

through Fri evening. In addition, a persistent upper-level trough 

across the western Gulf will continue to enhance sporadic heavy 

showers and strong thunderstorms near the aforementioned trough 

and front through Fri night. Gusty winds with low visibility and 

frequent lightning will accompany the strong thunderstorms. After 

the low moves into Louisiana and the stationary front dissipates 

on Sat, the Atlantic Ridge should build westward across northern 

Florida into the Gulf, bringing moderate to locally fresh SE winds

and moderate seas back to the entire Gulf.
