Synopsis for the Gulf of America
414 AM EDT Sat Oct 4 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong NE to E winds and locally rough seas
will prevail over the northern Gulf, mainly north of 26N,
tonight into early Sun, as a tight pressure gradient prevails
between high pressure across the eastern U.S. and an old frontal
boundary meandering across the Bahamas, south Florida, and across
the eastern Gulf. This boundary will begin to lift northward as a
warm front in the central Gulf early Sun and inland across the
southeastern United States Mon, supporting slowly diminishing
winds over the northern basin. Moderate E to SE winds and slight
to moderate seas are expected over the rest of the Gulf into next
week.
