Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1040 AM EDT Wed May 27 2026
.SYNOPSIS...Very active thunderstorms continue across portions of
the Gulf today, with one squall line moving southeastward off the
SW Louisiana coast and a second moving offshore of south Texas.
Expect heavy rainfall, frequent lightning, wind gusts to gale-
force and locally rough seas with this activity. Otherwise, the
Atlantic ridge extends westward across north Florida and the
northern Gulf coasts, and will sustain moderate to 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
combine with abundant tropical moisture to produce scattered
heavy showers and strong thunderstorms over the central and
eastern Gulf through Thu. Mariners are urged to keep up to date
with the latest forecasts.
