Synopsis for the Gulf of America
426 AM EST Sat Jan 17 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A 1028 mb high pressure just NW of Bermuda extending
a ridge SW across the E basin will continue to support moderate
and weaker winds over the E Gulf through this morning. A cold
front extending from SW Louisiana to southern Texas will
progress E today with scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms,
reaching from the Big Bend of Florida to the Bay of Campeche Sun
morning, and moving SE of the Gulf by Sun night. Near gale to
gale-force N winds are anticipated to occur along the front tonight
into Sun afternoon, as well as over the typical coastal waters
adjacent to Tampico/Veracruz Sun morning into Sun night. Winds
should steadily diminish on late on Sun and on Mon. Looking ahead,
building high pressure over the SE United States should cause
strengthening NE to E winds over most of the Gulf on Tue and Wed.
