Synopsis for the Gulf of America
925 AM EST Fri Jan 23 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extending from the western Florida
Panhandle to the central Texas coast will linger through Sat
morning. Weak high pressure over the eastern Gulf will be replaced
by slightly stronger high pressure that will build from the N on
Sat. An Arctic cold front is expected to enter the NW Gulf on
Sat, briefly stall there through Sat night, then move SE across
the entire basin Sun through Mon evening. Strong reinforcing high
pressure behind the front is expected to produce near gale force
winds across NW portions of the Gulf Sun and Sun night, and
possible gale conditions over the offshore waters of Tampico Sun
night into Mon, then over the waters offshore Veracruz on Mon and
Mon night. Dense fog along and just offshore the coastal plains
west of Pascagoula will continue through this morning over most
areas.
