A cold front will move off the Texas coast on Saturday, reach
from the western Florida Panhandle to Tampico Mexico by Sunday

the SW Gulf of Mexico on Monday. The front will dissipate on
Tuesday, as it moves northward as a warm front.

High pressure north of the region will maintain fresh to strong

pulse at night, and into the early morning near the coast of
Colombia, through Tuesday. Long period north to northeast swell
will propagate through the Atlantic Ocean waters east of the
Lesser Antilles beginning tonight, before dissipating from
Sunday through Tuesday night.  

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

A ridge will fluctuate between 27N and 29N through  Saturday,
then shift southward ahead of a cold front moving off  the coast
of northeast Florida by late Sunday. The front will  reach from
Bermuda to the Florida Keys by Monday afternoon,  before
stalling and weakening along roughly 26N through Tuesday.
