Synopsis for the Gulf of America
431 AM EST Wed Feb 4 2026

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure of 1025 mb located over central Florida
dominates the Gulf, supporting moderate or weaker return flow 
over the basin ahead of a cold front that extends from SW
Louisiana to southern Texas. The front will sweep southward 
across the Gulf region through late Thu. Fresh to near gale force 
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.
