Synopsis for the Gulf of America

425 PM EDT Wed Jun 24 2026



.SYNOPSIS...1020 mb high pressure is centered over the north- 

central Gulf near 27N90W, and will dominate the basin through

early Fri before Atlantic high pressure builds westward across

Florida and into the Gulf basin along 27N-28N Fri through Sun. 

Gentle to moderate anticyclonic winds will generally prevail 

across the basin during this time, except for fresh to locally 

strong NE to E winds pulsing off the northwestern Yucatan 

Peninsula nightly through the weekend, and moderate to fresh SE 

winds across far northwest portions Fri night. Looking ahead, a

weak frontal boundary will sink southward into the NE Gulf Mon 

night.
