Synopsis for the Gulf of America

429 AM EDT Sun Aug 2 2026



.SYNOPSIS...Relatively weak high pressure will remain in control

of the weather pattern across the Gulf, promoting gentle to

moderate winds for the next several days. The exceptions will be

fresh NE to E winds off the northwest coast of the Yucatan

peninsula nightly through the period, as well as the far northern

Gulf, where an inland cold front will induce moderate to fresh W

to SW winds through Monday. Scattered showers and thunderstorms 

will continue over much of the NE Gulf N of 25N and E of 90W into

the upcoming week as an upper-level trough and a cold front 

approach the Gulf coast.
