Synopsis for the Gulf of America

1038 PM EDT Sun May 31 2026



.SYNOPSIS...A ridge will continue to dominate the Gulf waters

through midweek supporting gentle to moderate E to SE winds with

moderate seas. The exception will be evening pulses of fresh

winds off the northern Yucatan Peninsula and in the central Gulf

through the same period. An upper-level trough across the

western Gulf will continue to support showers and thunderstorms

across the east and central Gulf through the early part of the

week. Expect fresh to strong E winds and moderate to rough seas

across the NE Gulf Wed and Wed night as a frontal boundary

reaches the area.
