A stationary front is oriented E-W along the northern Gulf Coast from the western Florida Panhandle to Gulf Shores Alabama to Morgan City Louisiana to the Gulf Coast at the Texas/Louisiana border, where it becomes a warm front. The warm front continues west-southwestward through Galveston Bay, inland over Texas to a 1010 mb surface low centered just northwest of Corpus Christi. A stationary front extends southward and bends west to near Laredo, Texas. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms cover the eastern Gulf of Mexico east of 87W, with only isolated showers south of Ft. Myers Florida and east of 84W. Isolated showers are over the southwest Gulf of Mexico. The portion of the front over the Gulf waters will drift inland later today. High pres over the Atlc will support mainly gentle to moderate winds over the basin through Thu. The next cold front will move over the NW Gulf coast late Thu night. It is forecast to reach from the NE Gulf to near 26N93W to the SW Gulf by Fri night. Strong northerly winds and building seas are expected behind this front. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are likely to precede the front. ...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN 55W AND 64W... Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are occurring in the far southwest Caribbean, south of 11N between 75W-84W, due to the East Pacific monsoon trough, which extends along 08N from 75W westward to the East Pacific. High pressure over the central Atlantic will weaken as it shifts eastward through Tue night, allowing for moderate to fresh trades to diminish somewhat Tue and change little through Fri night under a rather weak pressure gradient. A mid to upper- level trough extending from the central Atlc to central Caribbean will continue to bring scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms, some with gusty winds, over much of the eastern Caribbean through Tue. NE swell over the tropical Atlantic waters will subside through Tonight. ...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS... A stationary front is over eastern South Carolina and Georgia. Scattered moderate convection is mainly north of 31N between 75W and the Georgia coast. Fresh to locally strong northeast winds over the waters S of 22N will diminish to mainly moderate later today. NE swell of 7 to 9 ft S of 29N E of 70W will subside through Tue.
