SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
1048 AM EDT FRI OCT 2 2026
SYNOPSIS
AN UPPER-LEVEL LOW JUST WEST OF THE NORTHERN YUCATAN
PENINSULA MOVING WESTWARD WILL CONTINUE TO SUSTAIN SCATTERED
TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER MOST OF THE EASTERN
AND CENTRAL GULF THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE NE GULF AND A COUPLE OF TROUGHS
OVER THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL GULF IS ALLOWING FOR MOSTLY FRESH
EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS TO EXIST ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN
GULF WATERS. A WEAK COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE NW
GULF THIS WEEKEND, AND STALL FROM THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE TO NW GULF
AND TO THE SW BY LATE SUN. WEAK LOW PRESSURE MAY RIDE UP ALONG
THE FRONT DURING THE WEEKEND AND INTO MON ENHANCING WINDS SOME IN
THE NW GULF AND NORTH-CENTRAL GULF. WINDS ELSEWHERE BEHIND THE
FRONT ARE EXPECTED TO MOSTLY MODERATE NORTHEAST WINDS. LIGHT TO
MODERATE ARE GENERALLY EXPECTED ACROSS THE BASIN THROUGH THE
PERIOD.
