Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

940 PM EDT Fri Nov 1 2024



.SYNOPSIS...A broad high pressure ridge extends from the western

Atlantic into the SE U.S. The pressure gradient between this ridge

and a trough across southern Mexico and the northern portion of

Central America will support moderate to fresh winds and moderate

seas across most of the Gulf region through the upcoming weekend.

Fresh to strong E winds and higher seas are expected in the 

southeastern Gulf, including the Straits of Florida, through 

tonight, then mostly in the Straits of Florida through the 

upcoming weekend. Winds across the basin will begin to veer SE 

early Sun into early next week as a cold front slowly approaches E

Texas.
