Synopsis for the Gulf of America
338 AM EST Tue Jan 20 2026
.SYNOPSIS...High pressure dominates the region. The pressure
gradient between this system and a frontal boundary located over
the NW Caribbean supports fresh to strong northerly winds and
rough seas across the SE and SW Gulf, including the Yucatan
Channel. These marine conditions will continue to diminish
tonight. However, strengthening high pressure over the SE of the
United States will bring fresh to strong NE winds and building
seas, mainly over the eastern Gulf, including the Straits of
Florida, tonight through Wed. The next cold front is slated to
enter the NW Gulf Fri night followed by fresh to strong winds
and building seas.
