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.
