Synopsis for the Gulf of America
427 AM EDT Wed Jun 3 2026

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front moving into the far northeast Gulf this 
morning will stall from southwest Florida to southeast Louisiana 
through Thu, then dissipate gradually by Sat. Expect fresh to 
strong SE winds and moderate to rough seas north of the front
today and Thu. Meanwhile, a trough off the western coast of the 
Yucatan Peninsula will extend farther north into the central Gulf 
today, and weak low pressure may form over the central Gulf 
through Thu. The low pressure may dissipate as it moves northward 
into the Louisiana coast through Fri. Strong to near- gale force 
winds are possible on the northern end of the trough over the 
north- central Gulf starting tonight as the low pressure forms. By
Fri, these winds and seas will eventually merge with and enhance 
the ongoing conditions over the north- central Gulf, even as both 
the front and the low pressure dissipate. Looking ahead, the 
Atlantic ridge will rebuild westward into the Gulf by Sat, 
supporting gentle to moderate SE breezes and moderate seas, except
for fresh winds pulsing off the coast of Yucatan in the evening.
