Synopsis for the Gulf of America
334 AM EST Mon Jan 5 2026
.SYNOPSIS...Moderate to occasionally fresh S to SE winds and
moderate seas are expected over the western Gulf through midweek
as high pressure builds over the central basin and drifts
eastward. Moderate or weaker winds and slight seas will prevail
over the rest of the basin. Looking ahead, fresh to strong S winds
and widespread moderate seas will develop west of 90W by early
Thu, as a complex low pressure system over the central United
States strengthens. A cold front associated with this storm system
is slated to center the northern Gulf by next weekend.
