Synopsis for the Gulf of America
925 AM EST Tue Jan 27 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A strong cold front has moved SE into the NW
Caribbean from central Cuba to the Gulf of Honduras, with fresh
to strong northerly winds persisting across most of the Gulf basin
this morning. Marine conditions will improve from NW to SE through
the day and Wed as high pressure settles across the northern
Gulf. The high will shift southeastward on Thu as low pressure
develops in the north-central Gulf along the next cold front.
This front is expected to reach from the Florida Panhandle to
Veracruz by Fri evening and move SE of the basin Sat. Another
round of strong northerly winds will follow this front, with gale-
force winds near Veracruz likely to begin Sat morning.
