A trough currently east of the Florida Peninsula will drift westward, reaching the eastern Gulf Thu, gradually weakening as it continues northwest through the end of the week. Otherwise, high pressure northeast of the area will support mainly moderate to fresh SE return flow. Fresh to strong winds will pulse northwest of the Yucatan Peninsula at night with the daily development of a trough across the peninsula. The high pressure will weaken this weekend allowing for SE return flow to diminish slightly over the western Gulf. ...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN 55W AND 64W... High pressure north of the area and low pres over Colombia will support fresh to strong trades in the central Caribbean and Gulf of Honduras through the week, pulsing to near gale off the coast of Colombia during the late night and early morning hours. Winds will diminish slightly by this weekend as high pres weakens and the pres gradient slackens. Mainly moderate to fresh trades will prevail elsewhere. N to NE swell will move into the waters east of the Windward Islands later today. ...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS... A surface trough over the southern and central Bahamas will drift west and gradually weaken through Thu while high pressure builds northeast of the area. This pattern will generally support moderate to fresh E to SE winds, except fresh to strong winds S of 28N through late today. High pressure will weaken and drift eastward Fri through Sun, allowing winds to diminish and seas to subside. Fresh to strong winds will pulse offshore of Hispaniola through late week, mainly at night. $$ .WARNINGS...Any changes impacting coastal NWS offices will be coordinated through AWIPS II Collaboration Chat, or by telephone: .GULF OF MEXICO...
