Synopsis for the Gulf of America
433 AM EDT Sun Oct 5 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong NE to E winds and rough seas are
expected north of 27N through late Sun morning as a tight
pressure gradient persists between high pressure to the N and a
stationary front extending from the Straits of Florida to 1009 mb
low pressure near 26.5N92W. The front and low will lift northward
today, allowing for winds and seas to diminish over the northern
basin. Looking ahead, high pressure will begin to build modestly
across the entire Gulf basin by late Mon leading to moderate E to
SE winds and slight to moderate seas early next week, with locally
fresh winds possible in the northeastern Gulf.
