A cold front from near Flamingo in southwest Florida to Cozumel, Mexico will move southeast of the basin this morning. Cold air following behind the front is supporting strong to near gale force winds over the north central Gulf, with frequent gusts to gale force. Winds over the north central and northeast Gulf will diminish by late afternoon today as high pressure builds over the western Gulf behind the front. Associated seas will subside this evening. The high pressure will support generally tranquil marine conditions across the basin Sun into Mon, then will shift east of the area early next week. This pattern will support increased winds and seas over the northwest Gulf Mon and Tue between the high pressure and lower pressure farther west over Texas, before diminishing through mid week. ...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN 55W AND 64W... A cold front entering the Yucatan Channel will weaken as it moves across the northwest Caribbean Sat. The front will stall from eastern Cuba to the Gulf of Honduras tonight, then dissipate through Mon. High pressure building in the wake of the front north of the region will support the expansion of fresh to strong trade winds and building seas from off Colombia to cover most of the south- central and southwest Caribbean from Sun through Wed night. These winds may pulse to gale force mainly at night off Colombia starting Tue night. ...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS...
