Synopsis for the Gulf of America

929 AM EDT Sat Aug 29 2026



.SYNOPSIS...Weak low pressure about 100 nm offshore Mobile Bay

will continue to produce scattered thunderstorms with gusty winds

and locally higher seas as it drifts west over the next few days.

This low has a low chance of tropical development over the next 7

days. Elsewhere, a weak pressure gradient will support mainly

light to gentle winds and slight seas into into late next week. 

Winds will pulse to fresh with moderate seas off western Yucatan 

during the evenings due to a diurnal surface trough moving west 

off the peninsula each night.
