Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1027 PM EDT Fri May 8 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A weakening stationary front extends westward from
the Florida Big Bend area to the middle Texas coast. Scattered
showers and isolated thunderstorms linger near the boundary. From
late tonight through Sat, the entire front across the northern
Gulf will lift northward as a warm front. Afterward, the ridge
should build back across the Gulf from the east. Winds will pulse
to strong near the Yucatan Peninsula in the evenings through Sun
night. Looking ahead, another cold front might move into the
northern Gulf waters late Sun, and reach from central Florida to
eastern Bay of Campeche by late Mon, followed by moderate to fresh
N to NE winds. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms
are possible ahead of the front.
