Synopsis for the Gulf of America

1101 AM EDT Wed Jun 24 2026



.SYNOPSIS...The western portion of the Atlantic ridge extends 

across south Florida then weakly to the north-central Gulf, and 

will dominate much of basin through the weekend. 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. Expect scattered showers and a few 

thunderstorms along a weak cold front that has shifted southward 

into the NE Gulf along 29N this morning, before the boundary lifts

N of the Gulf tonight.
