A 1014 mb low over the NW Gulf near 28N93W will will gradually weaken as it tracks northeastward across the rest of the NW and north-central Gulf waters through Mon. It will track east- northeastward across the NE Gulf Mon night. Northerly winds following a trailing cold front have reached gale force over the NW Gulf tonight. Strong to near gale force southeast winds are near the low. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are ahead of this system over north-central Gulf waters. The front will exit the southeastern Gulf Tue night be over the Straits of Florida Wed. High pressure will build over the NW Gulf in the wake of the front, except a trough will persist over the far SW Gulf Tue and Wed. This pattern will allow for winds to diminish and seas to subside, except for fresh to strong northwest winds along the Mexican coast west of the trough. Looking ahead, another cold front will move into the northern Gulf Fri and reach from the NE Gulf to the south-central Gulf and to the SW Gulf by late Fri. ...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN 55W AND 64W... A weakening stationary front from the Windward Passage to just north of Jamaica will dissipate this morning. Fresh to strong trades over much of the central Caribbean will continue through late Wed night, then diminish to mainly fresh speeds through Fri. Gale force northeast to east winds along and near the coast of Colombia will diminish this morning, then pulse back up to gale force tonight into early Tue and again Tue night into early Wed. A weakening cold front is expected to move into the northwestern Caribbean Wed, then become stationary from west-central Cuba to the northwestern Caribbean and dissipate by early Thu as high pressure builds from the Gulf of Mexico southeastward across the northwest Caribbean. ...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS... A stationary front extending from near 24N65W to the Windward passage will weaken and dissipate through Tue. A weak cold front is expected to move over the northwest part of the area Tue, then become stationary across the far northern waters Wed southwest to near 30N77W, where it will transition to a weak cold front to near South Florida. A slighter stronger cold front will then overcome the stationary front and weak cold front as it sweeps across the western part of the area late Wed night and across the rest of the forecast waters Thu into early Fri. Yet a stronger cold front is expected to be along the southeast U.S. coast Fri night. Winds and seas will begin to increase late Fri off northeast Florida. $$ .WARNINGS...Any changes impacting coastal NWS offices will be coordinated through AWIPS II Collaboration Chat, or by telephone: .GULF OF MEXICO... .GMZ017...W CENTRAL GULF FROM 22N TO 26N W OF 94W...
