Synopsis for the Gulf of America
400 AM EST Sun Feb 1 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A tight pressure gradient between strong high
pressure building across the area and the recent cold front
now well southeast of the Gulf is resulting in near gale to gale
force northwest to north winds east of 90W, while fresh to near gale
NW to N winds are west of 90W. Seas peaking to around 17 ft are over
some sections of the eastern Gulf. These seas will subside to 8 to
12 ft today as the winds there diminish. Winds and seas elsewhere
will diminish from NW to SE across the Gulf through tonight as the
high pressure begins to shift eastward across the northern Gulf.
Another cold front is expected to enter the NW Gulf Wed, reach from
the Florida Panhandle to the western Gulf by Wed afternoon, and from
southwest Florida to the eastern Bay of Campeche by early Thu
afternoon, then to SE of the basin by early Thu evening. Fresh to
strong northerly winds and building seas are expected behind this
next frontal system.
