Synopsis for the Gulf of America

422 AM EDT Sun Jun 14 2026



.SYNOPSIS...An elongated area of low pressure along the coast of 

eastern Mexico to the western Bay of Campeche continues to 

produce scattered shower and thunderstorm activity across the far

western and southwestern Gulf. This system has moved inland but could

re-emerge over the northwestern Gulf of America late Tue or Wed 

while interacting with a frontal boundary. The pressure gradient 

between the low pressure area and 1018 mb high pressure over the 

east- central Gulf will support fresh to strong SE winds and 

moderate to rough seas across the western Gulf through tonight, 

while scattered showers and thunderstorms continue there through 

Mon. The Atlantic ridge will build westward into the Gulf Tue 

through Thu, and combine with lower pressure over South Texas and 

northeastern Mexico will promote fresh to strong southerly winds 

over the western Gulf, and moderate to fresh winds over the 

eastern Gulf.
