...GULF OF MEXICO...

High pressure over the Gulf will provide return gentle to

it over the western Gulf. The front will extend from the Florida

the basin Fri morning.  

...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN
55W AND 64W...

Moderate to fresh trades will prevail over the eastern half of
the basin today with strong winds pulsing off the coast of
Colombia tonight. Moderate trades will dominate the central and
eastern waters through Fri, then winds will increase to moderate
to fresh. A stationary front in the far NW Caribbean will
gradually dissipate through tonight. The next front may approach
the Yucatan Channel Thu and linger in the NW Caribbean through
the weekend. 

...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS...

High pressure will slide east of the area as a cold  front,
stretching from SE of Bermuda to central Cuba, weakens  as it
continues sliding to the east. A secondary cold front will move
into the area later today, bringing some strong NW winds N  of
28N this afternoon into Wed night. Another cold front will  move
