Synopsis for the Gulf of America

309 PM EDT Mon May 25 2026



.SYNOPSIS...The Atlantic ridge extending west-southwestward

across Florida into the central Gulf will sustain gentle to moderate

E to SE winds through Thu. The exception will evening pulses of

fresh winds off the northern Yucatan. An upper-level trough 

across the western Gulf should continue to couple with abundant 

tropical moisture to produce thunderstorms over the central and 

northeastern Gulf through at least Wed. These thunderstorms are 

capable of producing gusty winds, frequent lightning, limited 

visibility, and locally rough seas. Mariners are urged to keep up 

to date with the latest forecast.
