Synopsis for the Gulf of America

333 PM EDT Sat Oct 31 2026



.SYNOPSIS...Between high pressure over the southeastern U.S. and 

relatively lower pressure off of southern Central America and 

northern South America, mariners in the northeast and north-central 

Gulf can expect moderate to fresh northeast-to-east winds and 

periods of moderate seas through Mon night. A cold front will 

move into the NW Gulf Tue as a warm front develops over the NE 

Gulf. The warm front will slowly move northeast away from the

area Tue through Wed as the cold front slowly moves east across 

the Gulf, providing for areas of moderate winds and seas. The 

cold front weakens over the E Gulf Thu and Thu night while weak 

high pressure then builds over the W Gulf.
