Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1006 AM EST Thu Feb 5 2026

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from the Clearwater, Florida  
to Tampico, Mexico is forecast to move southward across the Gulf 
waters through this afternoon. The front will continue to bring 
fresh to near gale-force N wind and rough seas across much of the 
Gulf through early this evening when conditions are forecast to 
improve from west to east as high pressure builds across the
basin. Mostly moderate to fresh NW winds will follow another 
weaker cold front that will move across the eastern Gulf Sat and 
Sun. Looking ahead, high pressure will build over the northern 
Gulf in the wake of the front and will remain in control of the 
weather pattern across the basin through Mon.
