Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1121 AM EDT Thu May 7 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A weak cold front stretches southwestward from
southern Louisiana to near Brownsville, Texas, with a surface
ridge in control for the rest of the Gulf waters. Expect scattered
showers and isolated thunderstorms over the northwestern Gulf
today, then spread to the north-central and northeastern Gulf
tonight as the front moves farther south. The front will stall
just beyond the Texas coastal waters by this evening, then lift
back to the north as a warm front Fri into Sat as high pressure
ridging builds back in across the basin from the east. Winds will
pulse to fresh to strong near the Yucatan Peninsula in the
evenings through Sat. Looking ahead, another cold front may try to
move into the northern Gulf waters late on Sun, and reach from
north-central Florida to eastern Bay of Campeche by late on Mon,
followed by moderate to fresh north to northeast winds. Scattered
to numerous showers and thunderstorms, some possibly strong to
marginally severe, are possible to precede the fronts.
