Synopsis for the Gulf of America
403 AM EDT Thu Jun 4 2026
.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong E to SE winds and moderate to rough
seas persist north of a weakening stationary front from near Key
West, Florida to Venice, Louisiana. Pressure is falling over the
central Gulf along a trough, and low pressure weak may form later
today near 26N90W even as the front dissipates. This will enhance
the strong winds and rough seas over the north-central Gulf this
afternoon and evening. Meanwhile, scattered thunderstorms will
continue today over the south-central and southeast Gulf, south of
the front. Winds and seas will diminish starting Fri as the low
dissipates to a remnant trough as it moves onshore over southwest
Louisiana, and as a ridge builds from the western Atlantic into
the eastern Gulf. Looking ahead, this pattern will support gentle
to moderate E to SE winds and slight to moderate seas into early
next week, except for occasionally fresh to strong pulses off
northwest Yucatan during the evenings.
