SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
422 AM EDT SUN AUG 9 2026
SYNOPSIS
A SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDS ACROSS THE NE GULF SUPPORTING
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH TODAY AS THE TROUGH
MOVES INLAND. SIMILAR ACTIVITY IS NOTED 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
