Synopsis for the Gulf of America

356 PM EDT Sat Aug 1 2026



.SYNOPSIS...Relatively weak high pressure will remain in control

of the weather pattern across the Gulf, promoting gentle to

moderate winds for the next several days. The exception will be

fresh NE to E winds off the northwest coast of the Yucatan 

peninsula nightly through the period. Scattered showers and 

thunderstorms will continue over the NE Gulf and over mostly 

the eastern portion of the north-central Gulf into the upcoming 

week as an upper-level trough and a cold front approach the Gulf 

coast. Moderate to fresh southwest winds look to develop ahead of 

the front over the far northern Gulf late this weekend.
