Synopsis for the Gulf of America

531 AM EDT Sun Oct 25 2026



.SYNOPSIS...A strong ridge extends over most of the eastern

United States and into the central Gulf, supporting moderate to

locally fresh NE to E winds across most of the E Gulf region,

except locally strong E of 86W. A tightening pressure gradient 

between the high pressure and low pressure forecast to deepen near

the central Bahamas will bring fresh to strong NE winds and rough

seas over the eastern Gulf, including the Florida Straits through

early Wed.
