000 AGXX40 KNHC 220626 MIMATS Marine Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 226 AM EDT Sun Apr 22 2018 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... A weakening stationary front extends from Fort Myers west to near 27N90W. Fresh to locally strong easterly flow continues north of the front over the NE Gulf. The stationary front will lift back to the north as a warm front early this morning as a cold front reaches the Texas coast. The cold front will be preceded by scattered showers and thunderstorms, some of which can produce strong gusty winds. It will reach from the Mississippi Delta to the Bay of Campeche tonight, from the Florida Big Bend to the Yucatan Peninsula on Mon night, then slow somewhat on Tue passing across the Straits of Florida Tue night. The front will be followed by gentle to moderate NW winds and relatively low seas. ...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN 55W AND 64W... Atlantic high pressure will maintain fresh to locally strong trades across the south-central Caribbean and along the southern coast of Hispaniola through early this afternoon. Strong nocturnal trades are then expected to resume tonight along the north coast of the South America. A weakening cold front will move southeastward across the Yucatan Basin on Tue night, and wash out across the NW Caribbean by Thu. ...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS... Remnants of a stationary front extending southwest from 29N65W to central Florida will lift northward today with near gale force southeast flow developing across the forecast waters north of the Bahamas on Mon and Mon night in association with a surface low that will move eastward across the southeastern United States. Presently, scattered showers and thunderstorms are rapidly developing along and near the stationary front west of about 72W as a mid to upper level trough over the western Atlantic provides additional instability in the vicinity of the stationary frontal boundary. This activity is expected to continue through this afternoon, before it lifts to the northwest part of the area tonight through Mon in response to a warm frontal boundary that develops there ahead of a Gulf of Mexico cold front. The aforementioned surface low will track northeastward along the Georgia and South Carolina coasts on Tue, and drag the Gulf of Mexico cold front that is presently approaching the Texas coast, in addition to another weak cold front, across the northwest waters during the middle of next week. $$ .WARNINGS...Any changes impacting coastal NWS offices will be coordinated through AWIPS II Collaboration Chat, or by telephone: .GULF OF MEXICO...
