Synopsis for the Gulf of America
359 PM EDT Fri May 22 2026

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure extending from the western Atlantic
to the northern Gulf will change little through late Mon, then 
weaken into midweek. The related pressure gradient will maintain
a gentle to moderate east to southeast wind flow through early 
Sun, except for light to gentle southeast winds W of about 94W 
Sat night through Tue as a weak trough develops off the Texas 
coast. Winds then generally become southeast at gentle to 
moderate speeds across the basin through midweek, with slight to 
moderate seas, with the exception of fresh to strong winds 
pulsing off NW Yucatan from the late afternoons and into the 
night time hours due to local effects associated with a thermal 
trough. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms, some 
possibly strong, are expected to affect portions of the western 
Gulf through the weekend and into next week. Mariners should keep
up with the latest forecasts.
