Synopsis for the Gulf of America
428 PM EST Sun Feb 1 2026

.SYNOPSIS...A tight pressure gradient between strong high
pressure building across the area and a deepening low off the U.S.
Mid-Atlantic coast is maintaining fresh to locally strong NW to N
winds at the eastern Gulf, and moderate to fresh N to NE winds 
at the central Gulf. Seas remain near 12 ft over the east-central
and southeastern Gulf. As the low pulls northeastward toward the 
north-central Atlantic tonight, conditions at the eastern Gulf 
will improve further. By Mon, a high building eastward will
support gentle to moderate winds and moderate seas for the central
and eastern Gulf. For the western Gulf, a period of fresh to
strong southerly winds are anticipated from Mon evening through 
Tue morning. Another cold front is expected to enter the northern 
Gulf on Wed, then sweep southward across the Gulf through Thu 
night. It will bring another round of fresh to strong northerly 
winds and rough seas.
