Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1117 PM EDT Tue Oct 14 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A weak ridge will dominate the Gulf region through
the forecast period, resulting in gentle to moderate winds and
slight to moderate seas over much of the basin. Winds are
forecast to increase to fresh speeds over the eastern and
central Gulf Thu night through Sat night as the pressure
gradient tightens some across the area. Winds will veer to the
SE and S toward the end of the week as high pressure over the SE
United States shifts eastward into the western Atlantic. Looking
ahead, a cold front is expected to reach the NW Gulf waters on
Sun.
