Synopsis for the Gulf of America

952 PM EDT Tue Jun 2 2026



.SYNOPSIS...High pressure over the eastern Gulf will support 

gentle to moderate easterly to southerly winds and slight seas 

through tonight. A late-season cold front will enter the 

northeastern Gulf Wed morning, then stall from near Punta Gorda, 

Florida to New Orleans, Louisiana through Thu night before 

dissipating Fri. Anticipate fresh to strong E to SE winds and 

rough seas behind this front and also north of the Yucatan 

Peninsula. By Fri night, ridging should rebuild across the central

and northeastern Gulf, resuming gentle to moderate E to SE winds 

and moderate seas for the entire Gulf. An upper-level trough 

across the western Gulf will continue to support showers and 

thunderstorms across the south-central and southeast Gulf through

Wed.
