Synopsis for the Gulf of America
303 AM EDT Mon Mar 9 2026
.SYNOPSIS...An old frontal boundary near the coast of Texas and
Louisiana will continue to trigger showers and thunderstorms
in the NW Gulf early today. Otherwise, a broad surface ridge
extending across the basin will prevail through midweek. The
pressure gradient between the ridge and low pressure over Mexico
will support mainly moderate to fresh E to SE winds basin-wide,
pulsing to fresh and strong near the northern Yucatan and the
western Gulf in the evenings, and slightly weaker winds overall in
the northeastern Gulf. Seas will be slight to moderate through Wed.
A cold front may impact the northwestern Gulf beginning Wed night,
before moving across the basin through Fri night with increasing
winds and seas behind it.
