Synopsis for the Gulf of America

317 PM EDT Fri May 29 2026



.SYNOPSIS...The Atlantic ridge extends across Florida into the

Gulf region. This system will sustain gentle to moderate E to SE

winds through Tue. The exception will be evening pulses of fresh

winds off the northern Yucatan and in the central Gulf through

the same period. A pronounced deep-layered upper-level trough

across the western Gulf combined with a very warm, humid and

unstable airmass will continue to support periodic showers and

thunderstorms, across the central and eastern Gulf through Sun.

Frequent lightning, with gusty winds and locally rough seas are

expected in strong thunderstorms. Mariners are urged to keep up

to date with the latest forecasts.
