Synopsis for the Gulf of America
408 AM EST Sat Jan 24 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extending from the Florida Big Bend
to 27.5N88W and to the central Texas coast will linger through
late Sat morning before it lifts N as a warm front, ahead of a
strong cold front expected Sat afternoon. The cold front will
move into the Texas coastal waters Sat afternoon, then stall
through late Sat night as low pressure forms near the southern
Texas coast and rides NE along the front through Sun. The front
will then move 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, possible gale conditions over the
offshore waters of Tampico Sun night into Mon morning, and gales
over the waters offshore Veracruz Mon through early Mon night.
Conditions will improve quickly from NW to SE Tue through Wed as
the front moves SE into the NW Caribbean.
