Synopsis for the Gulf of America

1053 PM EDT Sun Oct 25 2026



.SYNOPSIS...A tight pressure gradient between a 1033 mb high

pressure system over the Mid-Atlantic states and a stationary

front that extends into the Bahamas supports fresh to locally near

gale-force NE-E winds and rough seas over the E Gulf waters, 

including the Florida Straits. This weather pattern will persist 

into mid- week, followed by diminishing winds and seas into next 

weekend. Elsewhere, gentle to locally fresh easterly winds and 

moderate seas will prevail during much of the workweek.
