Synopsis for the Gulf of America

446 AM EDT Sat Jun 13 2026



.SYNOPSIS...Scattered squalls and thunderstorm continue this 

morning across the SW Gulf, near a broad area of low pressure 

extending from the central Bay of Campeche to offshore of NE 

Mexico. The low pressure system will shift NW through the weekend 

and move inland over northeastern Mexico late Saturday or Sunday. 

The system could re-emerge over the northwestern Gulf on Tue and 

Wed while interacting with a frontal boundary. The pressure 

gradient between the low pressure area and a ridge over the NE 

Gulf will support fresh to strong SE winds and moderate to rough 

seas, accompanied by scattered showers and thunderstorms, through 

Sun night. Atlantic high pressure will build westward into the 

Gulf Tue and Wed to promote moderate to fresh southerly winds 

basin-wide.
