Synopsis for the Gulf of America
524 AM EDT Thu Oct 29 2026

.SYNOPSIS...A tight pressure gradient between a high pressure
system over New England and a stationary front over the
offshores NE of the Bahamas will continue to support fresh to
locally strong NE to E winds and rough seas in the E Gulf into 
Mon night. Winds and seas will gradually diminish into Sat as the 
ridge slides eastward. Looking ahead, another robust high pressure
system will reach New England late this weekend and early next 
week allowing winds and seas to increase in the NE Gulf. 
Elsewhere, gentle to moderate winds and moderate seas will prevail
into early next week. Looking ahead, expect fresh SE to S winds 
over much of the Gulf by Mon between high pressure over the 
western Atlantic and a cold front moving through the Southern 
Plains.
