Synopsis for the Gulf of America

1020 PM EST Sun Mar 1 2026



.SYNOPSIS...The tail of a weakening stationary front will slowly 

move southeastward and exit the basin tonight while becoming 

diffuse. Afterward, an expansive area of strong high pressure will

build west-southwestward from the central N Atlantic over the 

area starting tonight and hold through the upcoming week. Its 

related pressure gradient will support moderate to fresh east to 

southeast winds across the Gulf. Locally strong winds will occur 

at night off the northern Yucatan Peninsula starting Tue.
