Synopsis for the Gulf of America

954 AM EDT Mon May 25 2026



.SYNOPSIS...The Atlantic ridge extending west-southwestward

across Florida into the central Gulf will sustain mainly moderate 

E to SE winds through Thu. The exception will be fresh winds off 

northwestern Yucatan and at the northwestern Gulf on Wed night. An

upper-level trough across the western Gulf should continue to 

couple with abundant tropical moisture to produce thunderstorms 

over the central and northeastern Gulf through at least Wed 

morning. These thunderstorms are capable of producing gusty winds,

frequent lightning, limited visibility, and locally rough seas. 

Mariners are urged to keep up to date with the latest forecast.
