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.
