Synopsis for the Gulf of America

1056 AM EDT Fri Oct 3 2025



.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong E to NE winds and locally rough seas 

will occur over the northern Gulf, mainly north of 25N, today 

through Sun morning as a strong pressure gradient prevails between

high pressure to the north and a low pressure system meandering 

near the Bahamas and Florida peninsula. A warm front is expected 

to develop in the central Gulf on Sun and lift northward into the 

southeastern United States, supporting slowly diminishing winds 

over the northern basin, and moderate to locally fresh E to SE 

winds and slight to moderate seas over the rest of the Gulf into 

next week. Elsewhere, fresh to locally strong N to NW winds will 

occur offshore of Veracruz through this evening.
