Synopsis for the Gulf of America

449 AM EDT Mon Jun 15 2026



.SYNOPSIS...A trough of low pressure located over northeastern

Mexico and into S Texas will remain inland and drift northward 

through midweek. New low pressure may develop late Tue across S 

Texas and move NE across coastal Texas through Wed. This system 

could re-emerge over the northwestern Gulf Wed, where 

environmental conditions may support some development. Expect 

active showers and thunderstorms across the NW Gulf during this 

time. Elsewhere, Atlantic high pressure extends a ridge into the 

eastern Gulf. The pressure gradient between the low pressure and 

the ridge will support fresh to strong southerly winds over the 

western Gulf early Wed through Thu night, and moderate to fresh 

winds over the eastern Gulf.
