Synopsis for the Gulf of America
914 AM EST Sat Jan 24 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A warm front extends from N Florida westward to
28N90W and to the central Texas coast. Elongated low pressure
will form in the NW Gulf this afternoon and deepen as it tracks
NE into Louisiana by early Sun pulling the warm front N of the
area. This will take place in advance of an arctic front expected
to move into the Texas coastal waters this afternoon. The front
will then 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 conditions 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. Mariners are advised to keep up with
the latest forecasts.
