SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
1112 PM EDT SAT MAY 23 2026
SYNOPSIS
HIGH PRESSURE EXTENDING FROM THE WESTERN ATLANTIC TO
THE NORTHERN GULF WILL CHANGE LITTLE THROUGH LATE MON, THEN
WEAKEN FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. THE RELATED PRESSURE
GRADIENT WILL MAINTAIN A GENTLE TO MODERATE EAST TO SOUTHEAST
WIND FLOW THROUGH EARLY SUN, EXCEPT FOR LIGHT TO GENTLE
SOUTHEAST WINDS W OF ABOUT 94W TONIGHT THROUGH TUE AS A TROUGH
DEVELOPS OFF THE TEXAS COAST. WINDS THEN GENERALLY BECOME
SOUTHEAST AT GENTLE TO MODERATE SPEEDS ACROSS THE BASIN THROUGH
MIDWEEK, WITH SLIGHT TO MODERATE SEAS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF FRESH
TO STRONG WINDS PULSING OFF NW YUCATAN FROM THE LATE AFTERNOONS
AND INTO THE NIGHT TIME HOURS DUE TO LOCAL EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH
A THERMAL TROUGH. NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE NW
AND NORTH-CENTRAL GULF PRODUCING FREQUENT LIGHTNING WITH GUSTY
WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO REDUCE VISIBILITY INTO EARLY SUN.
OTHERWISE, INCREASING MOISTURE OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN GULF
BEGINNING AROUND THE MIDDLE PORTION OF THE UPCOMING WEEK SHOULD
LEAD TO INCREASING CHANCES FOR UNSETTLED WEATHER IN THAT PART OF
THE GULF. MARINERS ARE URGED TO KEEP UP WITH THE LATEST FORECAST.
