Synopsis for the Gulf of America
241 AM EST Mon Feb 16 2026

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from north-central Florida
southwestward to 25N88W to the central Bay of Campeche will exit the 
basin this afternoon. Winds over the NE Gulf will gradually diminish 
this morning as high pressure in the wake of the front begins to 
slide eastward across the area. Winds will become gentle to moderate 
along with slight to moderate seas beginning this afternoon and 
continuing into early Tue before southerly moderate to fresh winds 
develop in the western Gulf. These winds will expand eastward in 
coverage through Fri as low pressure, with an attendant cold front 
move through central Texas.
