SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
1140 PM EDT SUN MAY 24 2026
SYNOPSIS
THE ATLANTIC RIDGE EXTENDING WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD
ACROSS FLORIDA INTO THE CENTRAL GULF WILL SUSTAIN GENTLE TO
MODERATE E TO SE WINDS THROUGH THU. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE FRESH TO
STRONG WINDS PULSING OFF NORTHWESTERN YUCATAN FROM LATE AFTERNOON
INTO THE NIGHT-TIME HOURS DUE TO LOCAL EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH A
THERMAL TROUGH. AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH ACROSS THE WESTERN GULF
SHOULD CONTINUE TO COUPLE WITH ABUNDANT TROPICAL MOISTURE TO
PRODUCE HEAVY SHOWERS AND STRONG THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE CENTRAL
AND NORTHEASTERN GULF THROUGH AT LEAST WED. THESE THUNDERSTORMS
ARE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING GUSTY WINDS, FREQUENT LIGHTNING, LIMITED
VISIBILITY AND LOCALLY ROUGH SEAS. MARINERS ARE URGED TO KEEP UP
TO DATE WITH THE LATEST FORECAST.
