Synopsis for the Gulf of America

415 AM EDT Thu Jun 11 2026



.SYNOPSIS...Weak ridging will extend from the western Atlantic 

across the north-central Gulf into early next week. Farther 

south, weak low pressure will develop over southern Mexico and 

northern Central America today, then move into the the Bay of 

Campeche this evening. 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 northeast Gulf will support a plume of fresh to 

strong SE winds and moderate to rough seas from the northwest 

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.
