678 AGXX40 KNHC 050848 MIMATS Marine Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 348 AM EST Thu Dec 5 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 over the northeast Gulf will shift east of the area today ahead of a cold front moving off the Texas coast early Fri. Weak low pressure may form along the front over the northern Gulf Fri and shift northeast of the area into Sun, allowing the front to stall and weaken over the western Gulf. A ridge of high pressure will build across the central Gulf Mon, before shifting east of the area late Mon ahead of a stronger cold front expected to move off the Texas coast Tue. ...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN 55W AND 64W... High pressure building north of the area will support moderate to fresh trade winds across the region through early next week, with fresh to strong winds pulsing off the coast of Colombia. ...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS... A cold front reaching from Bermuda to the central Bahamas will move southeast and merge with a stationary front farther east. The merged front will continue to move east of the area tonight, leaving a stationary front through the southern Bahamas into Sat. Another front will move off the Carolinas late Sat into Sun and shift eastward. While this front may stay north of the area, strong high pressure following the front into the northwest Atlantic will support fresh to strong easterly winds and building seas between the Bahamas and Bermuda by late Sun. These winds will diminish early next week as the high pressure shifts east. $$ .WARNINGS...Any changes impacting coastal NWS offices will be coordinated through AWIPS II Collaboration Chat, or by telephone: .GULF OF MEXICO...
