Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1033 AM EDT Sat Oct 4 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong E to NE winds are expected north of
27N through Sun morning as a strong pressure gradient persists
between a 1010 mb low in the northwestern Gulf, a stationary front
extending from the low through the Florida Straits, and high
pressure to the north. Locally rough seas will accompany the
strong winds. The front will lift northward on Sun, allowing for
winds and seas to slowly diminish over the northern basin.
Elsewhere, fresh NW winds will pulse offshore of Veracruz through
this evening. Looking ahead, moderate E to SE winds and slight to
moderate seas are expected over much of the basin early next week,
with locally fresh winds possible in the northeastern Gulf.
