Synopsis for the Gulf of America

1030 PM EDT Mon Jun 1 2026



.SYNOPSIS...A modest ridge will continue to dominate the Gulf

waters until Wed morning, supporting gentle to moderate easterly

to southerly winds. A late-season cold front will enter the 

northeastern Gulf Wed night, 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. 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 eastern and central 

Gulf through midweek.
