Synopsis for the Gulf of America
500 AM EDT Wed Jul 22 2026
.SYNOPSIS...Tropical Storm Bertha is near 29.4N 88.3W at 5 AM EDT,
and is moving west at 4 kt. Maximum sustained winds are 45 kt
with gusts to 55 kt, and the minimum central pressure is 998 mb.
Bertha will move inland to near 29.4N 89.4W this afternoon,
inland to 29.3N 91.4W late tonight, to near 29.3N 93.9W Thu
afternoon, then weaken to a remnant low near 29.5N 96.3W late
Thu night and dissipate Fri afternoon. Swells generated by
Bertha will continue spreading westward along the northern Gulf
Coast during the next few days. In the wake of Bertha, weak high
pressure centered over the south-central Gulf will be replaced by
ridging associated to a new high center that forms over the NE
Gulf providing for a light to gentle anticyclonic wind flow
pattern across the basin, except for pulsing moderate to fresh
winds off the Yucatan Peninsula and near NE Mexico and the Texas
coast. These conditions are expected through the weekend.
