Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1128 PM EDT Thu May 7 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A weak stationary front stretches southwestward from
the western Florida panhandle to near Brownsville, Texas, with a
surface ridge in control for the rest of the Gulf waters. Expect
scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms in the northern
offshore waters of Texas tonight and Fri, then spread south of New
Orleans and Florida Panhandle Fri night as the front sinks a bit
farther south. The front will then stall and lift back to the
north as a warm front late Fri night thru Sat. Afterward, the
ridge should build back across the Gulf from the east. In
response, winds will pulse to between fresh and strong near the
Yucatan Peninsula in the evenings through Sat night. Looking
ahead, another cold front might move into the northern Gulf waters
late Sun, and reach from north-central Florida to eastern Bay of
Campeche by late on Mon, followed by moderate to fresh N to NE
winds. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms, some
possibly strong to marginally severe, are possible to precede the
fronts.
