Synopsis for the Gulf of America
734 PM EST Sun Jan 11 2026

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front is moving across the Gulf region and
extends from near Naples, Florida to the central Bay of Campeche
where it terminates as stationary. Strong gale force NW to N 
winds of 45 kt with seas to 21 ft are occurring over the SW Gulf 
in the wake of the front. Strong to near gale force northerly 
winds and moderate to rough seas follow the front elsewhere. This 
system will reach the Straits of Florida, the SE Gulf and the 
eastern Bay of Campeche by Mon morning, then will weaken and stall
from western Cuba to the northern Yucatan peninsula to the 
eastern Bay of Campeche by Tue morning. Conditions in the SW Gulf 
will gradually improve Mon night into Tue. Moderate or lighter 
winds and slight to moderate seas will prevail across the basin 
through early Wed. The next cold front could impact the basin with
increasing winds and building seas by Wed night, with that front 
rapidly shifting SE of the basin Thu.
