A cold front will approach the Texas coast tonight and move into the NW Gulf on Tue, then pass SE across the Gulf through Wed night. Fresh to strong SW winds and building seas are expected in the northern Gulf ahead of the front Tue into Tue night, followed by fresh to strong northerly winds over the NE Gulf late Tue night into Wed. Winds and seas will diminish across much of the Gulf Wed night through the end of the week as high pressure builds into the eastern Gulf. ...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN 55W AND 64W... High pressure north of the area will support pulsing gales near the coast of Colombia tonight, with fresh to strong trades elsewhere across the central Caribbean through Tue. This high pressure will weaken and move eastward Tue night into Wed, allowing winds and seas to diminish across the basin Wed through Fri night. The tail end of a cold front will move across the NW Caribbean Wed night through Thu night, and cross the Windward Passage on Fri. Northerly swell will reach the waters east of the Leeward Islands Fri through Sat night. ...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS... High pressure east of the Bahamas will drift SE and weaken through Tue. A weak cold front will move into the far northern waters late tonight and stall early Tue, then lift N as a warm front later Tue as strengthening low pressure moves off the SE U.S. coast. This low will pull a strong cold front across the waters Tue night through late this week. Expect SW gales and building seas across the waters N of 27N ahead of the front Tue night and Wed. Gales are also possible behind the front across the northern waters late Wed and Wed night. Large northerly swell will propagate southward across the region Thu through Sat night. $$ .WARNINGS...Any changes impacting coastal NWS offices will be coordinated through AWIPS II Collaboration Chat, or by telephone: .GULF OF MEXICO...
