Synopsis for the Gulf of America
935 PM EST Wed Jan 21 2026
.SYNOPSIS...Strong high pressure over the SE of the United
States supports fresh NE to E winds and moderate seas across most
of the eastern Gulf, including the Straits of Florida. These
marine conditions will persist through tonight. The next cold
front is expected 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.
