000 AGXX40 KNHC 190759 MIMATS Marine Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 259 AM EST Tue Nov 19 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... Weak high pressure over the western Gulf will shift northeastward to the NE Gulf Wed and to northeast of the area on Fri as a strong cold front reaches eastern Texas. Fresh to strong southeast return flow will develop over the far western Gulf Wed through Thu. The cold front is expected to move off the Texas coast Fri afternoon followed by fresh to strong northerly winds. The front will rapidly move across the basin, and begin to weaken as it reaches the far southeastern Gulf Sat night. ...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN 55W AND 64W... A wake trough extending from near the coast of southwestern Haiti to across eastern Jamaica and into the southwestern Caribbean near 11N81W will dissipate tonight. A tropical wave over the Caribbean with axis near 71W will weaken late tonight into Wed as it moves across the central Caribbean. A broad area of low pressure centered near 19N58W, with a pressure of 1007 mb as of 06Z, is expected to undergo gradual development during the next couple of days, potentially becoming a tropical or subtropical cyclone as it tracks northwestward across the forecast Tropical N Atlantic waters north of 19N. Expect for strong east to southeast winds and building seas along with scattered showers and thunderstorms to impact those waters through Wed. ...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS... A stationary front extends from near 31N64W to 24N68W and to the northwest coast of Haiti and Windward Passage area. Seas west of the front, north and northeast of the Bahamas, will continue to gradually subside through early this evening. A trough behind the stationary front, currently over the western part of the area, will generate into a cold front and sweep across the rest of the western and central forecast waters this afternoon through Wed night. Fresh to strong west to northwest winds and building seas will follow in behind this front. High pressure will build across the northern waters Thu through Sat. Elsewhere, a broad area of low pressure near 19N58W is expected to undergo gradual development during the next couple of days, potentially becoming a tropical or subtropical cyclone as it tracks northwestward and northward across waters within about 180 nm E of 65W, before it merges with the aforementioned cold front. Yet another cold front may move off the northeast Florida coast late Sat night. Fresh to strong southwest winds will develop over the far northwest waters beginning on Sat afternoon. $$ .WARNINGS...Any changes impacting coastal NWS offices will be coordinated through AWIPS II Collaboration Chat, or by telephone: .GULF OF MEXICO...
