Synopsis for the Gulf of America
517 AM EDT Wed May 27 2026
Updated conditions in the northwestern Gulf this morning
.SYNOPSIS...A squall line is going to produce heavy showers,
dangerous lightning and strong to near-gale W winds along with
locally rough seas for the northwestern Gulf this morning.
Otherwise, the Atlantic ridge extending west-southwestward across
Florida into the central Gulf will sustain gentle to moderate with
locally fresh SE to S winds through the weekend. The exception
will be evening pulses of fresh winds off the northern Yucatan
through Thu night. An upper- level trough across the central Gulf
should continue to couple with abundant tropical moisture to
produce scattered heavy showers and strong thunderstorms over the
central and eastern Gulf through Thu. These thunderstorms are
capable of producing gusty winds, frequent lightning, limited
visibility, and locally rough seas. Mariners are urged to keep up
to date with the latest forecast.
