SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
359 PM EDT SAT MAR 21 2026
SYNOPSIS
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN GULF WILL MAINTAIN
MOSTLY MODERATE SE WINDS AND SLIGHT TO MODERATE SEAS ACROSS THE
WESTERN GULF INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. A TROUGH OVER THE BAY
OF CAMPECHE IN THE SOUTHWEST GULF WILL SUPPORT OCCASIONAL MODERATE
TO FRESH WINDS OFF THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN COASTS OF THE YUCATAN
PENINSULA MAINLY AT NIGHT THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THIS
PATTERN WILL ALSO SUPPORT A LIGHT TO GENTLE ANTICYCLONIC FLOW AND
SLIGHT SEAS OVER THE EASTERN GULF THROUGH WED. WINDS MAY BRIEFLY
INCREASE TO FRESH SPEEDS OVER THE FAR NE GULF LATE TUE INTO EARLY
WED AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY CLIPS THE AREA.
