388 AGXX40 KNHC 281829 MIMATS Marine Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 229 PM EDT Wed Apr 28 2021 Marine Weather Discussion for the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, and Tropical North Atlantic from 07N to 19N between 55W and 64W and the Southwest North Atlantic including the Bahamas ...GULF OF MEXICO... Fresh to strong southeast winds and building over the western Gulf will continue through tonight as low pressure deepens over southwestern Texas. The associated cold front will move to just offshore the Texas coast Thu evening, and slowly move across the NW Gulf through Fri. It will reach from west- central Florida to the central Gulf and to the Bay of Campeche by early Sat and become stationary. The front will lift back to the north as a warm front through Sun, except the portion over the western Gulf will weaken and dissipate by late Sun as Atlantic high pressure builds westward across the northern Gulf. Fresh to strong northerly winds quickly surge southward behind the front W of 96W and S of 25N Fri and Fri night. The high pressure will remain in place Mon and Mon night. Southerly flow will increase over the far western Gulf Sun through Mon night. Areas of smoke over the SW Gulf are due to agricultural fires in southern Mexico. These conditions are expected to continue through at least the end of the week, while hazy conditions remain over the west-central Gulf and eastern Bay of Campeche. Visibility may be reduced in the SW Gulf, especially near the coast. ...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN 55W AND 64W... Fresh to occasionally strong east to southeast winds are expected in the Gulf of Honduras through Thu night as a cold front moves into the Gulf of Mexico. Gentle to moderate winds will continue elsewhere across the basin through Sun, then increase to fresh speeds late Sun through Mon night. ...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS... A stationary front over the far southeastern waters will gradually dissipate through Fri. Relatively weak high pressure over the area will change little through the period. Southerly winds will begin to increase over the northwest waters late Thu in advance of an approaching cold front. This cold front is expected to move over those waters late Fri into Sat, and across the waters N and NE of the Bahamas through Sun night as it weakens. High pressure will build in over the area in the wake of this front through Mon night. $$ .WARNINGS...Any changes impacting coastal NWS offices will be coordinated through AWIPS II Collaboration Chat, or by telephone: .GULF OF MEXICO...
