Synopsis for the Gulf of America 319 PM EST Mon Jan 19 2026

SYNOPSIS
High pressure dominates the Gulf region. The pressure gradient between this system and a frontal boundary located over the NW Caribbean supports fresh to locally strong northerly winds and rough seas across the SE and SW Gulf, including the Yucatan Channel. These marine conditions will continue to diminish this evening and tonight. However, strengthening high pressure over the SE of the United States will bring fresh to locally strong NE winds and building seas, mainly over the eastern Gulf, including the Straits of Florida, late tonight through Wed. Looking ahead, the next cold front is slated to enter the NW Gulf Fri night followed by fresh to strong winds and building seas. Gale conditions are possible over the west-central waters, including the Tampico area by Sat night.
