SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
356 PM EDT THU APR 23 2026
SYNOPSIS
HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE GULF REGION,
WITH A RELATIVELY WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE AREA. THIS
WILL RESULT IN GENTLE TO MODERATE SE WINDS AND MODERATE SEAS
BASIN-WIDE THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK.
THE EXCEPTION WILL BE OFF THE YUCATAN PENINSULA, WHERE A DIURNAL
TROUGH WILL PULSE MODERATE WINDS TO FRESH DURING THE EVENINGS.
OTHERWISE, GUSTY WINDS, FREQUENT LIGHTNING, AND HIGHER SEAS COULD
BE POSSIBLE IN A LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY
LOCATED OVER THE SE GULF THAT IS MOVING EASTWARD.
