Moist southerly flow will increase slightly over the northwest Gulf today between high pressure over the western Atlantic and a cold front moving across the southern Plains toward the Texas coast. The front will move into the far northwest Gulf by Sun afternoon, reaching from Florida Big Bend area to near Veracruz Mexico by early Mon, before stalling from the Straits of Florida to Bay of Campeche into Tue. Low pressure may form along the front over the western Gulf by late Tue, but should dissipate through Wed. ...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN 55W AND 64W... High pressure north of the area will allow for fresh to strong northeast to east winds over most of the central Caribbean through Sun night. These winds will diminish slightly early next week as the high pressure shifts southeastward and weakens. Meanwhile, long-period north swell will propagate through the Atlantic passages and the tropical Atlantic waters off the Leeward and Windward Islands through early next week. ...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS...
