SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
519 AM EDT FRI MAR 20 2026
SYNOPSIS
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN A RIDGE ACROSS THE
GULF REGION AND A WEAKENING STATIONARY FRONT OVER THE WESTERN
CARIBBEAN SEA WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT FRESH TO LOCALLY STRONG
NE WINDS AND MODERATE TO ROUGH SEAS OVER THE SE GULF, INCLUDING
THE STRAITS OF FLORIDA, THROUGH TODAY. MODERATE TO FRESH NE WINDS
ARE EXPECTED NIGHTLY, THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD, ACROSS THE
EASTERN BAY OF CAMPECHE DUE TO LOCAL EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH A
THERMAL TROUGH. ELSEWHERE, MODERATE OR WEAKER WINDS, AND SLIGHT
TO MODERATE SEAS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH TUE NIGHT.
