Synopsis for the Gulf of America

1111 AM EDT Mon Oct 26 2026



.SYNOPSIS...A tight pressure gradient between a 1031 mb high 

pressure system over the eastern United States and a stationary 

front extending from near Bermuda to the NW Bahamas supports fresh

to strong NE to E winds and rough seas over the E Gulf waters, 

including the Florida Straits. This weather pattern will persist 

into midweek, followed by diminishing winds and seas into next 

weekend. Elsewhere, gentle to moderate winds and moderate seas 

will prevail during much of the workweek.
