SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
401 PM 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 IN THE NORTH-CENTRAL GULF. NORTHEAST MODERATE WINDS
ARE EXPECTED ELSEWHERE BEHIND THE FRONT. THE FRONT WILL REMAIN
STATIONARY INTO MIDWEEK. THE FRONT WILL REMAIN STATIONARY INTO
MIDWEEK. FRESH TO STRONG NORTHEAST WINDS ARE EXPECTED BEHIND THE
FRONT BEGINNING TUE, MAINLY IN THE NE AND NORTH-CENTRAL GULF, AS
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS SOUTHWARD BEHIND IT. LIGHT TO MODERATE
ARE GENERALLY EXPECTED ACROSS THE BASIN THROUGH THE PERIOD.
