000 AGXX40 KNHC 030758 MIMATS Marine Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 358 AM EDT Mon May 3 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 occasionally strong SE to S winds will prevail through Tue over much of the Gulf. A weak cold front will sink slowly into the NW Gulf Tue night and reach from Louisiana to the SW Gulf Wed afternoon before stalling and weakening. Fresh N winds are expected behind the front Tue night into Wed over the far western Gulf. Winds should diminish to moderate or weaker across the Gulf on Thu. Another weak cold front may sink southward into the NE and north-central Gulf early Fri before weakening. ...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN 55W AND 64W... A high pressure ridge extends along 27N in the Atlantic. The ridge is contributing to fresh to strong SE trades over the Gulf of Honduras. These winds should continue through Wed night due to the pressure gradient between the Atlantic ridge and lower pressures over Central America. Moderate to fresh E trades will continue elsewhere across the basin through at least Fri night. ...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS... High pressure will reorganize across the W Atlc today and Tue leading to moderate to fresh S winds north of 25N and west of 75W, and moderate to fresh SE tradewinds south of 25N. These winds will relax to gentle or moderate on Wed and Thu. A new cold front will move across the western Atlc waters to the north of the Bahamas on Friday, accompanied by fresh winds. $$ .WARNINGS...Any changes impacting coastal NWS offices will be coordinated through AWIPS II Collaboration Chat, or by telephone: .GULF OF MEXICO...
