Synopsis for the Gulf of America

417 AM EST Sun Mar 1 2026



.SYNOPSIS...A nearly stationary front extends from near Bonita

Beach, Florida southwestward to 25N86W. Isolated moderate 

convection are present near and ahead of the front. This activity 

will continue southeastward across the far SE Gulf this morning. 

The stationary front will transition to a weakening cold front 

this morning, slowly move southeastward and exit the basin. 

Afterward, a strong high pressure system will build west- 

southwestward over the area from the N Atlantic beginning tonight,

with the related gradient generally supporting moderate to fresh 

east to southeast winds across the Gulf. Locally strong winds will

occur at night off the northern Yucatan Peninsula starting Tue.
