SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
1106 AM EDT SUN MAY 24 2026
SYNOPSIS
THE ATLANTIC RIDGE EXTENDS ACROSS FLORIDA INTO THE
GULF REGION. THIS SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT A GENTLE TO
MODERATE E TO SE WIND FLOW THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK, 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. AN UPPER-LEVEL DISTURBANCE
CONTINUES TO ENHANCE THE DEVELOPMENT OF NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE WESTERN GULF, MORE CONCENTRATED OVER THE NW
PART OF THE BASIN. THESE THUNDERSTORMS ARE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
GUSTY WINDS, FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND LOCALLY ROUGH SEAS. THE SE
FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO ADVECT ABUNDANT TROPICAL MOISTURE THROUGH AT
LEAST THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK HELPING TO INDUCE MORE CONVECTIVE
ACTIVITY ACROSS THE GULF WATERS. MARINERS ARE URGED TO KEEP UP
WITH THE LATEST FORECAST.
