NWS Marine Forecast


   GMZ001-240900-  Synopsis for the Gulf of America  355 PM EST Fri Jan 23 2026      .SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extending from the western  Florida Panhandle to 28N91W and to the central Texas coast will  linger through Sat morning before it lifts back N as a warm front  ahead of a strong Arctic cold front Sat afternoon. The cold front  is expected to approach the Texas coast early on Sat, then stall  as low pressure that forms near the southern Texas coast rides up  along it through Sat night. This will tend to then drag the front  SE across the entire basin Sun through Mon evening. Strong  reinforcing Arctic 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. There is some potential  for winds in the NW Gulf to at times reach gale force on Sun.    $$
