Synopsis for the Gulf of America
452 PM EDT Tue Jun 16 2026

.SYNOPSIS...Potential Tropical Cyclone One is near 27.3N 97.6W at 
5 PM EDT, and is moving northeast at 5 kt. Maximum sustained 
winds are 25 kt with gusts to 35 kt, and the minimum central 
pressure is 1005 mb. One will move to 27.9N 96.5W Wed morning, 
29.2N 94.6W Wed afternoon, inland to 31.0N 92.5W Thu morning, and
dissipate Thu afternoon. Swells generated by the Potential 
Tropical Cyclone are likely to cause life-threatening surf and 
rip current conditions along the northwestern Gulf Coast for the 
next couple of days. Otherwise, a tightening pressure gradient 
over the basin will sustain fresh to strong southerly winds over 
the western and central Gulf tonight through late Thu night, and
moderate to fresh winds over the eastern Gulf. Winds will begin 
to diminish Fri as high pressure settles in over the eastern 
Gulf.
