SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
919 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 WEATHER PATTERN WILL SUPPORT 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. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE 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 GENERATE 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.
