SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
431 PM EDT WED OCT 1 2025
SYNOPSIS
WEAK LOW OVER THE SW GULF WILL CONTINUE DRIFTING SOUTHWARD
OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AND WEAKEN. A MODEST PRESSURE
GRADIENT BETWEEN THIS LOW AND HIGH PRESSURE OVER MEXICO WILL
SUPPORT FRESH TO STRONG NW WINDS OFF VERACRUZ LATE THU AND FRI.
MEANWHILE, BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN UNITED STATES
COMBINING WITH A DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE ALONG A FRONTAL BOUNDARY
WILL LEAD TO FRESH TO STRONG E WINDS AND ROUGH SEAS IN THE N GULF
LATE THU THROUGH SAT. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
CAN ALSO BE EXPECTED NEAR THE LOW PRESSURE AND ASSOCIATED FRONTAL
BOUNDARY. THE LOW PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO LIFT NORTHWARD ON SUN
ALLOWING FOR WINDS AND SEAS TO DIMINISH.
