Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1014 PM EST Sat Jan 24 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from N-central Florida
westward across the outer waters of the Florida Big Bend to
coastal Mississippi, then transitions to a warm front
southwestward across SE Louisiana to 1009 mb low pressure offshore
of central Texas near 28N95W with a cold front then extending
S-SW to the Mexican coast along 24N. The low pressure will deepen
as it tracks NE into Louisiana by early Sun pulling the warm front
N of the area. The cold front will 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, gale force
winds over the offshore waters of Tampico Sun night into Mon
morning, and gales over the waters offshore Veracruz Mon and Mon
night. Seas are expected to quickly build across the basin
starting Sun. Conditions will improve quickly from NW to SE Tue
through Wed as the front moves SE into the NW Caribbean and high
pressure builds across the region. Mariners are advised to keep
alert with the latest forecasts.
