Synopsis for the Gulf of America
955 PM EST Fri Feb 27 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from near Mexico Beach, Florida
southwestward to 26N94W and to inland South Texas. Scattered to
numerous showers and thunderstorms are ahead of the front over the
NE Gulf and central Florida associated with a pre-frontal trough.
This activity is further supported by a rather broad upper-level
trough in the N Gulf. The activity will progress southeastward
tonight while the front slows down as it shifts east-southeastward
across the northern half of the basin into Sat, and to east of
the basin Sat night while weakening. A strong ridge of high
pressure will build west-southwestward over the area from the N
Atlantic beginning on Sun night, with the related gradient
generally supporting moderate to fresh east to southeast winds
across the Gulf.
