Synopsis for the Gulf of America

1023 PM EDT Mon Jul 27 2026



.SYNOPSIS...High pressure will remain over the central Gulf to

promote generally quiescent marine conditions for the next 

several days. The exception will be fresh NE winds off the 

northwest coast of the Yucatan peninsula nightly through the 

weekend. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue during 

the next couple of days over the NE Gulf due to an approaching 

weak cold front across the SE U.S.
