000 AGXX40 KNHC 071806 MIMATS Marine Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 206 PM EDT Sun Apr 7 2019 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... A squall line that pushed off the Texas coast earlier this morning currently stretches from near Galveston Texas to SE of Brownsville Texas near 25.5N96W. Scattered showers and thunderstorms, some strong to severe, will continue to move from W to E across the northern and central Gulf waters through Mon. Otherwise, strong E to SE winds will continue today over the Gulf ahead of a cold front entering NW Gulf tonight. The front will reach from Mobile to 25N92W to the central Bay of Campeche Mon evening, then from the Florida Big Bend to near 25N88W and to western Yucatan Peninsula and eastern Bay of Campeche by Tue afternoon. The front will weaken to a trough as it exits the SE Gulf on Wed. High pressure following the front will shift E over the eastern Gulf by Thu as a weak cold front approaches the NW Gulf. ...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN 55W AND 64W... High pressure N of the region will support fresh to strong trade winds across the south-central Caribbean through Tue, reaching near gale force off the coast of Colombia tonight and Mon night. This pattern will also support pulsing fresh to strong winds at night in the Gulf of Honduras through early Mon night. Low pres moving E will cause winds over the south-central Caribbean to generally become moderate Wed through Fri. Residual long period NE swell will affect the waters E of the Windward Islands until tonight. ...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS... High pres over the area will gradually weaken and shift E through Thu in response to low pres moving E from the eastern United States. This will allow strong winds pulsing N of Hispaniola to subside by Tue morning. Low pres will track NE from the southern U.S. late on Tue and drag a cold front across the NW part of the area Wed morning. The cold front will reach from near 31N77W to Vero Beach early Wed, weaken into a trough and stretch from near 31N73W to 28N77W to the NW Bahamas and Miami Wed evening. The trough will be weakening and become nearly stationary from near 30N66W to 27N72W to the NW Bahamas Thu. High pres will build SE across the NE part of the forecast waters late Wed through Thu night as another weak trough moves from E to W across the waters between the SE Bahamas and Hispaniola. $$ .WARNINGS...Any changes impacting coastal NWS offices will be coordinated through AWIPS II Collaboration Chat, or by telephone: .GULF OF MEXICO...
