Synopsis for the Gulf of America
300 PM EST Wed Jan 21 2026
.SYNOPSIS...Strong high pressure over the SE of the United
States supports fresh to locally strong NE to E winds and
moderate seas across most of the eastern Gulf, including the
Straits of Florida. These marine conditions will persist through
this evening. The next cold front is slated to enter the NW Gulf
Sat followed by fresh to strong NW to N winds and building seas.
Reinforcing high pressure in the wake of the front, may bring
near-gale to gale conditions first near Tampico Sun night, then
near Veracruz on Mon.
