Synopsis for the Gulf of America
420 PM EST Fri Feb 27 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from near Panama City, Florida
southwestward to 28N93W and to inland South Texas. Scattered to
numerous showers and thunderstorms are ahead of the front over
the NE Gulf associated with a pre-frontal trough. This activity
is further supported by a rather broad upper-level trough that is
shifting eastward over the central Gulf. The activity will move
inland central Florida late tonight while the front will slow down
as it shifts east-southeastward across the northern half of the
basin into Sat, and to east of the basin Sat night while
weakening. A strong ridge of high pressure will build west-
southwestward over the area from the N Atlantic beginning on Sun
night, with the related gradient generally supporting moderate to
fresh east to southeast winds across the Gulf.
