Synopsis for the Gulf of America
926 PM EST Tue Jan 20 2026
SYNOPSIS
Strong high pressure over the SE of the United
States supports fresh to strong northerly winds and moderate to
rough seas across most of the eastern Gulf, including the Straits
of Florida. These marine conditions will persist through Wed. The
next cold front is slated to enter the NW Gulf Fri night into Sat
followed by fresh to strong winds and building seas. Reinforcing
high pressure in the wake of the front, may bring gale conditions
first near Tampico, then near Veracruz on Mon.
