1000 AM EDT Sat Aug 22 2026



.SYNOPSIS...Weak high pressure will remain centered over the basin

through the middle of next week, leading to gentle to moderate 

winds and generally slight seas. A surface trough will generate 

fresh winds north and west of the Yucatan Peninsula in the early 

evenings. These winds will spread westward away from the peninsula

each overnight as the trough migrates into the SW Gulf.
