GMZ001-111900- Synopsis for the Gulf of America 259 AM EDT Sat Apr 11 2026 .SYNOPSIS...High pressure centered over the eastern U.S. is building southward toward the region. The related gradient will continue to maintain mostly moderate to fresh east winds across the basin through tonight. The high pressure will strengthen some through late Sun night as it shifts eastward over the western Atlantic through early next week before it weakens into midweek. A ridge will stretch west-southwestward from the high to across the northern Gulf through the period. A tightening pressure gradient between the ridge and lower pressure to its southeast associated with a frontal boundary will funnel pulsing fresh to strong east winds through the Straits of Florida and into the southeastern Gulf starting on Mon. Seas across the basin will be at a mostly moderate state, except reaching a rough state, at times, in the Straits of Florida beginning on Mon. $$ GMZ040-111900- NW Gulf of America including Stetson Bank- 259 AM EDT Sat Apr 11 2026 .TODAY...E to SE winds 15 kt.
