Synopsis for the Gulf of America

432 AM EST Mon Feb 2 2026



.SYNOPSIS...A tight pressure gradient between strong high

pressure building across the area and a deepening low off the

New England coast is maintaining moderate to fresh NW to N winds

at the eastern Gulf, and moderate to fresh NE to E winds at the

SW Gulf. Rough seas to 10 ft over the SE Gulf will subside later

this morning. Afterward, a high building eastward will support 

gentle to moderate winds and moderate seas for the central and 

eastern Gulf. For the western Gulf, a period of fresh to strong 

southerly winds are anticipated from this evening through Tue 

morning. Another cold front is expected to enter the northern Gulf

on Wed, then sweep southward across the Gulf through Thu night. 

The front will bring fresh to strong northerly winds and rough 

seas.
