Synopsis for the Gulf of America

1033 PM EST Tue Feb 3 2026



.SYNOPSIS...High pressure of 1027 mb located SW of the Tampa Bay

area dominates the Gulf region supporting moderate to fresh return

flow over the western part of the basin, and moderate or weaker

winds across the remainder Gulf. The next cold front will enter 

the NW Gulf by early Wed morning, then sweep southward across the 

Gulf region through late Thu. Fresh to strong northerly winds and 

rough seas will follow the front. Winds and seas will begin to 

diminish across the Gulf area from W to E Thu night into Fri as 

high pressure settles over the NW Gulf.
