Synopsis for the Gulf of America
317 PM EDT Fri May 29 2026
.SYNOPSIS...The Atlantic ridge extends across Florida into the
Gulf region. This system will sustain gentle to moderate E to SE
winds through Tue. The exception will be evening pulses of fresh
winds off the northern Yucatan 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 periodic showers and
thunderstorms, across the central and eastern Gulf through 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.
