Synopsis for the Gulf of America
416 PM EDT Thu Aug 13 2026
.SYNOPSIS...The Atlantic ridge extends westward across Florida
and into the Gulf region, and will change little through Sat
before weakening Sun and Mon. This pattern will produce mostly
gentle to moderate E to SE winds across the basin, with pulses of
fresh winds occurring north and west of the Yucatan Peninsula and
into the Bay of Campeche each evening and night, as a diurnal
surface trough migrates from the Yucatan Peninsula westward across
the SW Gulf. Slight to moderate seas are expected through the
forecast period.
