000 AGXX40 KNHC 021824 MIMATS Marine Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 224 PM EDT Sat Jun 2 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 1015 mb high is centered over the eastern Gulf waters near 27N84W. Surface ridging spans from this high center and covers the entire basin. Scattered showers are over the SE Gulf, W Cuba, and the Yucatan Peninsula, due to an upper-level low centered over the Yucatan Peninsula near 21N89W. Troughing will form over the western Yucatan each evening and drift over the southwest Gulf overnight through Wed. A weak cold front will enter the northern Gulf Mon morning and move across the northern Florida Peninsula and the NE Gulf through Tue morning. The front will then stall across central Florida before dissipating late Wed. Enhanced coverage of showers and thunderstorms as well as fresh SW winds are expected within 120 nm S of this front. Elsewhere, a high pressure ridge will extend from the SE Gulf to Texas the next several days supporting mainly gentle to moderate winds, except moderate to occasionally fresh winds near the Texas coast. ...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN 55W AND 64W... Scattered showers are over the NW Caribbean, Cuba, and the Yucatan Channel enhanced by the presence of an upper-level low centered north of the Yucatan Peninsula. To the south, the monsoon trough along 10N is enhancing convection south of 12N between 78W-81W. High pressure in the central Atlantic will maintain fresh to strong trades in the S central Caribbean over the next several days, with mainly moderate to fresh trades elsewhere, except gentle to moderate over the NW Caribbean. As pressures lower W of Central America starting the middle of next week, strong winds will expand from the central Caribbean to the Gulf of Honduras. There are some indications that winds could increase to near gale force over the Gulf of Honduras later this upcoming week. ...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS... A weakening front was analyzed as a surface trough that extends from 31N64W to 27N62W. Scattered showers are noted along the trough. To the east, a 1018 mb high is centered over the central Atlantic near 26N70W. Surface ridging will prevail from the central Atlc to the Gulf of Mexico this weekend. A cold front will move across the Carolinas into the western Atlantic Mon morning, crossing S of 31N Mon evening. The tail end of the front will stall across the waters north of 28N Tue through Tue night before becoming diffuse on Wed. Fresh to locally strong SW winds are possible N of 28N to the SE of this front Sunday through Monday. $$ .WARNINGS...Any changes impacting coastal NWS offices will be coordinated through AWIPS II Collaboration Chat, or by telephone: .GULF OF MEXICO...
