Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1022 PM EST Fri Jan 2 2026
.SYNOPSIS...Fresh SW winds and moderate to rough seas are
expected over the northern Gulf tonight as a warm front
associated with a low pressure system lifts northward. Briefly
strong SW winds will be possible on Sat. A cold front will enter
the northern Gulf Sat afternoon and progress over the northern and
central basin through Sun, supporting moderate to locally fresh N
winds in the wake of the front. High pressure will settle over
the basin early next week, leading to moderate or weaker winds and
slight seas.
