Synopsis for the Gulf of America

316 PM EDT Fri Jun 19 2026



.SYNOPSIS...A ridge of high pressure extends from the Atlantic

westward across Florida to the central Gulf. The pressure

gradient between the high pressure and relatively lower

pressures over Texas and northeastern Mexico will generally

support mostly fresh southerly winds over the western and

central Gulf. The fresh winds over the western and central Gulf 

will diminish to gentle to moderate speeds early next week. Winds 

over the eastern Gulf will become light to gentle tonight.
