312 PM EDT Thu Jun 25 2026



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

into early next week. Gentle to moderate anticyclonic winds will 

generally prevail across the basin during this time, except for 

fresh to locally strong NE to E winds pulsing off the northwestern

Yucatan Peninsula nightly, and moderate to fresh SE to S winds 

across the far northwestern Gulf through the weekend. Looking 

ahead, a weak frontal boundary will sink southward into the east- 

central Gulf Mon night and Tue.
