Synopsis for the Gulf of America 335 AM EDT Thu May 7 2026

SYNOPSIS
A weak cold front is moving into the Texas coastal waters, with high pressure ridging in control across the waters ahead of it. Moderate to fresh SE-S winds are in the central Gulf with gentle to moderate winds elsewhere under the high. The weak front is forecast to move slowly today, and quickly stall just beyond the Texas coastal waters by this evening, then lift back to the north as a warm front Fri into Sat as high pressure ridging builds back in across the basin from the east. Winds will pulse to fresh to strong near the Yucatan Peninsula in the evenings through Sat. Looking ahead, another cold front may try to move into the northern Gulf waters late on Sun, and reach from north
central Florida to eastern Bay of Campeche by late on Mon, followed by moderate to fresh north to northeast winds. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms, some possibly strong to marginally severe, are possible to precede the fronts.
