SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
349 AM EDT WED JUL 8 2026
SYNOPSIS
RELATIVELY WEAK HIGH PRESSURE EXTENDING WESTWARD
ACROSS THE BASIN FROM THE ATLANTIC WILL CHANGE LITTLE THROUGH
THU NIGHT, THEN SHIFT NORTHWARD TO NEAR THE NORTHERN GULF COAST
FRI THROUGH SAT NIGHT. THE RELATED PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL
GENERALLY MAINTAIN GENTLE TO MODERATE EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS
ACROSS THE GULF SOUTH OF ABOUT 26N, AND LIGHT TO GENTLE
SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH WINDS NORTH OF ABOUT 26N, EXCEPT FOR FRESH TO
STRONG NORTHEAST TO EAST WINDS OFFSHORE THE YUCATAN PENINSULA AT
NIGHT DUE TO THE DIURNAL TROUGH THAT MOVES WESTWARD FROM THE
YUCATAN PENINSULA. A MID TO UPPER-LEVEL LOW ACTING ON A VERY
UNSTABLE AND MOISTURE-LADEN ATMOSPHERE WILL CONTINUE TO RESULT
IN SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE SW
GULF, WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ELSEWHERE
ACROSS THE BASIN SOUTH OF ABOUT 28N THROUGH THU.
