Synopsis for the Gulf of America

1111 PM EDT Sat May 30 2026



.SYNOPSIS...A ridge will continue to dominate the Gulf waters

through midweek supporting gentle to moderate E to SE winds with

moderate seas. The exception will be evening pulses of fresh

winds off the northern Yucatan Peninsula 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 rounds of showers

and thunderstorms, across the central and eastern Gulf through

at least 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.
