Synopsis for the Gulf of America

411 PM EDT Sun Jul 5 2026



.SYNOPSIS...Little change is expected in the weather pattern across

the Gulf region as a ridge continues to dominate the basin. Gentle

to moderate winds are forecast over the western Gulf with light 

to gentle winds over the eastern Gulf. The exception will be pulsing

winds reaching fresh to locally strong speeds off the northwestern

Yucatan Peninsula nightly through Fri. These winds are the result

of local effects associated with a surface trough. Slight to moderate

seas are expected basin-wide.
