Synopsis for the Gulf of America 456 PM EDT Wed May 27 2026

SYNOPSIS
A squall line of active thunderstorms continues to move across the NW Gulf this afternoon, extending from central Louisiana to NE Mexico. Expect periods of heavy rainfall, frequent lightning, wind gusts to gale-force and locally rough seas with this activity. Otherwise, the Atlantic ridge extends westward across north Florida and the northern Gulf coasts, and will sustain moderate to locally fresh SE to S winds through Fri, then diminish to gentle to moderate over the weekend. The exception will be evening pulses of fresh to strong winds off the northern Yucatan this evening and again Thu. An energetic upper
level trough across the west-central Gulf should continue to combine with abundant tropical moisture to produce scattered showers and strong thunderstorms over the central and eastern Gulf through Thu. Mariners are urged to keep up to date with the latest forecasts.
