SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
937 AM EST FRI JAN 2 2026
SYNOPSIS
FRESH SW WINDS AND MODERATE SEAS ARE EXPECTED OVER
THE NORTHWESTERN GULF TODAY, WITH WINDS EXPANDING THROUGH THE
NORTHEASTERN 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.
