Synopsis for the Gulf of America

422 AM EDT Sat Aug 1 2026



.SYNOPSIS...A surface ridge will remain in control of the

weather pattern across the Gulf, promoting gentle to moderate

winds for the next several days. The exception will be fresh E

to NE winds off the northwest coast of the Yucatan peninsula

nightly through the period. Scattered showers and thunderstorms

will continue over the NE Gulf through the weekend and into next

week as an upper-level trough and cold front at the surface drop

southward toward the Gulf coast. Moderate to fresh southwest 

winds look to develop ahead of the front over the far northern 

Gulf late this weekend.
