Synopsis for the Gulf of America

427 AM EDT Wed Jun 3 2026



.SYNOPSIS...A cold front moving into the far northeast Gulf this 

morning will stall from southwest Florida to southeast Louisiana 

through Thu, then dissipate gradually by Sat. Expect fresh to 

strong SE winds and moderate to rough seas north of the front

today and Thu. Meanwhile, a trough off the western coast of the 

Yucatan Peninsula will extend farther north into the central Gulf 

today, and weak low pressure may form over the central Gulf 

through Thu. The low pressure may dissipate as it moves northward 

into the Louisiana coast through Fri. Strong to near- gale force 

winds are possible on the northern end of the trough over the 

north- central Gulf starting tonight as the low pressure forms. By

Fri, these winds and seas will eventually merge with and enhance 

the ongoing conditions over the north- central Gulf, even as both 

the front and the low pressure dissipate. Looking ahead, the 

Atlantic ridge will rebuild westward into the Gulf by Sat, 

supporting gentle to moderate SE breezes and moderate seas, except

for fresh winds pulsing off the coast of Yucatan in the evening.
