Synopsis for the Gulf of America
352 AM EST Sun Jan 25 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from western Vermilion
Bay, Louisiana to 1009 mb low pressure offshore of central Texas
near 27.5N94.5W, with a cold front then extending S-SW to the
Mexican coast just N of Tampico. The low pressure will track NE
into Louisiana today, allowing the cold front to move SE across
the entire basin Sun through Mon evening. Strong reinforcing
arctic high pressure building 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 through Mon morning, and gales over the waters
near Veracruz Mon morning through around midnight Mon. Seas are
expected to quickly build across the basin today and tonight.
Conditions will improve quickly from NW to SE Tue through Wed as
the front moves SE into the NW Caribbean and high pressure builds
settles across the northern Gulf. Mariners are advised to keep
alert with the latest forecasts.
