Synopsis for the Gulf of America
159 PM EST Sun Mar 1 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A weak frontal boundary extends from the Florida Keys
westward to 25N84W and to near 24N87W. Isolated showers and
thunderstorms are along and near the boundary. This boundary will
slowly move southeastward and exit the basin tonight while
becoming diffuse. Afterward, an expansive area of strong high
pressure will build west-southwestward from the central N Atlantic
over the area starting tonight and hold through the upcoming
week. Its related pressure gradient will support moderate to fresh
east to southeast winds across the Gulf. Locally strong winds
will occur at night off the northern Yucatan Peninsula starting
Tue.
