Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1017 PM EDT Fri Oct 3 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 strong 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 into 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.
