Synopsis for the Gulf of America

305 PM EDT Fri Jun 12 2026



.SYNOPSIS...Disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity has 

increased a little near a broad area of low pressure located over

the Bay of Campeche near 20.5N95W. Environmental conditions are 

forecast to be only marginally conducive for development before 

the system moves inland over eastern Mexico late Saturday or 

Sunday. The system could re-emerge over the northwestern Gulf on 

Tuesday and Wednesday while interacting with a frontal boundary, 

but there too, conditions are only expected to be marginally 

conducive for any development. The pressure gradient between the 

low pressure area and a ridge over the NE Gulf will support fresh 

to strong SE winds and moderate to rough seas through Sun.
