000 AGXX40 KNHC 070925 AAA MIMATS Marine Weather Discussion...UPDATED NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 425 AM EST Wed Nov 7 2018 Updated Warnings section 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... High pressure ridging extending from the Atlantic to the central Gulf will support gentle to moderate winds over the basin through Thu night. A strong cold front will will reach the Texas coast Fri morning, and move across the NW Gulf through Fri afternoon. The front will reach from near Apalachicola to near 26N90W and to inland northeastern Mexico Fri evening, from near Sarasota, Florida to 25N90W and to near Veracruz early Sat, then become stationary from near Fort Myers to near 24N90W to the Bay of Campeche by Sat evening. Strong winds and building seas are expected behind this front. NW to N winds are possible to reach minimal gale force late Fri night through Sat night over the far western Gulf S of 26N. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are likely to precede the front. ...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN 55W AND 64W... High pressure over the central Atlantic will weaken as it shifts southeastward during the next few days. As a result, generally light to moderate trades are expected over the area during the next several days. A surface trough currently just to the east of the Windward Islands will continue to produce scattered showers and thunderstorms over over much of the tropical N Atlantic waters through Fri. The combination of an upper trough over the central Caribbean and a tropical wave moving across the eastern Caribbean will lead to more scattered showers and thunderstorms over the northeastern Caribbean through early Thu. Any of the shower and thunderstorm activity may produce gusty winds. ...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS... High pressure ridge extending from Bermuda to central Florida will retreat eastward during the next few days in response to cold fronts that will move off the United States eastern seaboard. The first cold front is expected to be rather weak as it approaches the far northwest section of the area late Tue night into Wed before moving back north as a warm front by late Wed. The second cold front is expected to quickly move across the northwestern waters Fri night through Sat before it approaches Bermuda and extend to near 31N72W and stationary to near Port Canaveral by late Sat night. Strong high pressure in the wake of the front will usher in fresh to strong northeast winds accompanied by building seas. Otherwise, gentle to moderate winds will continue over the remainder of the forecast waters through Sun night. NE long period swell over the eastern waters will subside through Thu. $$ .WARNINGS...Any changes impacting coastal NWS offices will be coordinated through AWIPS II Collaboration Chat, or by telephone: .GULF OF MEXICO...Updated .GMZ017...W CENTRAL GULF FROM 22N TO 26N W OF 94W...
