Synopsis for the Gulf of America

1014 PM EDT Tue Jul 28 2026



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

pattern across the Gulf region promoting gentle to moderate

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

winds off the northwest coast of the Yucatan peninsula nightly

into the weekend. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will

continue during the next couple of days over the NE Gulf due to

the presence of a frontal boundary over north-central Florida.
