SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
1118 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.
MEANWHILE, GUSTY WINDS, FREQUENT LIGHTNING, AND HIGHER SEAS ARE
LIKELY IN AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY LOCATED
OVER THE FAR SE GULF AND THE FLORIDA STRAITS, WHICH IS MOVING
EASTWARD TONIGHT.
