Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1103 AM EDT Fri Oct 10 2025

.SYNOPSIS...The pressure gradient between a strong high pressure
over the Mississippi Valley and a frontal trough in the SE Gulf is
resulting in moderate to fresh NE to E winds over much of the
basin. Strong winds and rough seas are found in the NE Gulf and
this will continue into Sat. Conditions will improve across the
Gulf region late Sat and especially Sun as a non-tropical low
pressure lifts north over the W Atlantic and a ridge builds across
the basin. The ridge will sustain mainly a gentle to moderate
anticyclonic flow and moderate seas into early next week.
