Synopsis for the Gulf of America

1027 PM EDT Sun Aug 2 2026



.SYNOPSIS...Relatively weak high pressure will remain in control

of the weather pattern across the Gulf, promoting gentle to

moderate winds through the week. The exceptions will be fresh NE 

to E winds off the northwest coast of the Yucatan peninsula 

nightly through the period, as well as the far northern Gulf, 

where a cold front approaching the coast will help to induce 

moderate to fresh W to SW winds through Mon. Scattered to numerous

showers and thunderstorms are expected over the eastern Gulf, and

over the central Gulf N of 25N between 87W and 92W early this week 

as a mid to upper-level trough and a cold front approach the Gulf 

coast.
