High pres will slide eastward across N Florida today and into the W Atlc tonight. S return flow over the W Gulf will spread across the entire Gulf by Fri. The next cold front will move off the Texas coast Sat morning, then stall from SE LA to the N of Tampico Mexico Sun morning before lifting slowly N and just inland over TX Sun evening. A stronger cold front will move SE into the W Gulf Mon through Tue. High pres building S behind the front could generate gale force winds over the waters near Veracruz Tue night. ...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN 55W AND 64W... A nearly stationary front extends from the Windward Passage near 20N73W to just N of Belize near 19N88W. The front will weaken today and the remnants of the front will lift N across the NW Caribbean tonight through late Fri. Fresh to locally strong nocturnal trades will persist across the S central Caribbean the remainder of the week, with the strongest winds of 25-30 kt near the coast of Colombia. Long period NW swell will reach the NE Caribbean Passages this evening and spread SE to the waters E of the Leeward Islands tonight through Fri. Strong E to SE winds will surge over the Gulf of Honduras Fri night and Sat, then subside. ...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS... A cold front extending from 23N65W to the Windward Passage will move slowly SE, and stall from 21N65W to the Windward Passage Fri evening. High pres behind the front will slide ENE into the W Atlc by early Fri, then move slowly E along 30N through the weekend. This will induce fresh E trades S of 23N and increase S to SW flow over the waters N of 27N ahead of next cold front. Seas associated with long period N to NW swell will merge with seas farther S associated with trade-wind swell by Sat morning. The combined area of swell will dominate the forecast waters this afternoon through Mon.
