...GULF OF MEXICO...

A strong cold front extending from Tampa Florida to the eastern 
Bay of Campeche will continue moving across the remainder of the

Florida to the Yucatan Peninsula later today. Strong northerly

return flow will prevail across the Gulf region Thu through Sat.

...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN
55W AND 64W...

High pressure NE of the area will maintain fresh to strong trade

coast of Colombia each night. Trade winds will diminish slightly 
today as an approaching cold front weakens the ridge. The front 
will stall and dissipate near the Yucatan Channel by afternoon. 
Fresh to locally strong trade winds are expected in the southern
Caribbean Thu through Sat.

...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS...

A cold front moving off the coast of northern Florida will reach
from near Bermuda to north-central Cuba by Wed night. A weak low
pressure area may develop along the front east of the Bahamas on
Thu, and persist into Fri. The low is expected to move NE of the
area Fri night, with a trough extending south of the low to Turks
and Caicos.
