Synopsis for the E Pacific within 250 nm of Mexico
1251 PM PST Thu Feb 19 2026

.SYNOPSIS...Ahead of a cold front, fresh to strong SW winds over
the N Gulf of California will develop tonight before diminishing
on Fri afternoon. The same cold front will also accelerate NW
winds to fresh and locally strong along the Pacific waters west
of the Baja California peninsula through Fri night. High
pressure building in behind the front will induce moderate to
fresh NW winds across the entire Gulf of California Sat into
early Mon. Looking ahead, a vigorous cold front pushing across
the Gulf of America will induce a strong gale-force gap wind
event over the Gulf of Tehuantepec Sun into at least Tue night.
Very large seas are likely to accompany this gap wind event,
propagating well away from the source region.
