Synopsis for the Gulf of America
254 AM EST Sat Mar 7 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A broad surface ridge extending southwestward from
the Bermuda High will settle in the Gulf through midweek next
week. The pressure gradient between the ridge and low pressure
over Mexico will support mainly moderate to fresh E to SE winds
basin-wide, pusling to between fresh and strong near the
northern Yucatan and the western Gulf in the evenings, and
slightly weaker winds overall in the NE Gulf. A cold front may
impact the NW Gulf Wed night. Seas will be slight to moderate
through Wed.
