000 AGXX40 KNHC 031940 MIMATS Marine Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 240 PM EST Tue Dec 3 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... High pressure will build over the western and central Gulf through Wed in the wake of a cold front that moved through the region yesterday. The high pressure will shift east of the area Thu ahead of the next cold front entering the northwest Gulf Fri. Looking ahead, weak low pressure may form along the frontal boundary late Fri into Sat over the north-central Gulf before lifting north of the area Sun, with an associated warm front to extend from the low southeastward to along the north-central Gulf at that time and into Sun night. Expect for chances of rain to increase over much of the north-central Gulf with upcoming system. ...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN 55W AND 64W... A cold front extending from east-central Cuba southwestward to central Belize will weaken and dissipate as it moves southeastward and reaches from eastern Cuba to northeast Nicaragua by Wed. Meanwhile, a large low pressure system moving east and away from the US east coast has weakened the Bermuda High north of the basin. As a result, trade are weaker than usual. Stronger high pressure will build north of the area by Fri, with its associated gradient increasing the trades. Large long-period north swell that has been impacting the Atlantic waters and Atlantic passage the past few days will continue to slowly subside through Wed night. ...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS... A cold front extending from near 27N65W to eastern Cuba will reach from near 25N65W to eastern Cuba and become stationary by late tonight. It will gradually dissipate through Thu. A reinforcing cold front will move across the waters north of 27N through early Thu, followed by weak high pressure moving off the Carolinas north of the area. Yet another cold front will move into the region from the north, reaching as far south as 27N by Sat night and become stationary through Sun night as strong high pressure builds southward to its north. The resultant tight gradient is expected to induce a large fetch area of strong northeast to east winds north of the front along with wave heights peaking to around 11 or 12 ft at that time. $$ .WARNINGS...Any changes impacting coastal NWS offices will be coordinated through AWIPS II Collaboration Chat, or by telephone: .GULF OF MEXICO...
