Synopsis for the Gulf of America

132 AM EST Sun Nov 1 2026



.SYNOPSIS...The pressure gradient related to strong high

pressure ridging southward along the southeastern U.S. seaboard

will maintain moderate to fresh northeast to east winds and

moderate seas across the north-central and NE Gulf 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

northeastward away from the area Tue through Wed as the cold

front slowly moves eastward across the Gulf, providing for areas

of moderate winds and seas. The cold front will then weaken over

the eastern Gulf Thu and Thu night while weak high pressure then

builds over the western Gulf.
