SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
1031 PM EDT SAT AUG 8 2026
SYNOPSIS
A SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTHWESTWARD FROM THE
BIG BEND OF FLORIDA INTO THE EASTERN GULF WILL SUPPORT SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH TONIGHT AS THE TROUGH MOVES
INLAND. SIMILAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED IN THE BAY OF CAMPECHE AND SW
GULF WITH THE PASSAGE OF A DIURNAL SURFACE TROUGH. OTHERWISE, A
SURFACE RIDGE EXTENDS FROM THE BERMUDA HIGH WESTWARD ACROSS THE
NORTHERN GULF, AND WILL DOMINATE MOST OF THE BASIN THROUGH LATE
TUE. THIS WILL SUPPORT GENTLE TO MODERATE E TO SE WINDS NORTH OF
24N WITH SLIGHT SEAS. PULSES OF FRESH WINDS WILL OCCUR NORTH AND
WEST OF THE YUCATAN PENINSULA AND INTO THE BAY OF CAMPECHE EACH
EVENING AND NIGHT AS A DIURNAL SURFACE TROUGH MIGRATES FROM THE
YUCATAN PENINSULA WESTWARD ACROSS THE SW GULF.
