A stationary front extending from south Florida westward across the central Gulf along 25N-26N will linger today, then weaken and lift northward tonight. A ridge will build across the Gulf Tue and persist through mid-week. A cold front is expected to drop southward and cross the northern Gulf late Thu night and Fri, then stall and weaken over the northern or central waters Fri night. Smoke from agricultural fires in southern Mexico may reduce visibilities over the SW Gulf and Bay of Campeche. ...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN 55W AND 64W... High pressure will build over the SW N Atlantic waters through mid-week, which will support fresh to strong winds along the coast of Colombia and over the Gulf of Venezuela. Fresh winds will pulse each night over the Gulf of Honduras. A weakening stationary front or trough will linger in the vicinity of the Leeward Islands into Tue. Long-period northerly swell will continue affecting the waters east of the Leeward Islands through Tue, then subside by mid-week. ...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS... A nearly stationary front extending across south Florida to the NW Bahamas will weaken tonight into early Tue. Northerly swell generated by a complex low pressure system over the central Atlantic will produce large seas across the forecast waters through tonight.

A cold front is expected to move off the SE U.S. coast and across the northern waters Thu night through Fri night. $$ .WARNINGS...Any changes impacting coastal NWS offices will be coordinated through AWIPS II Collaboration Chat, or by telephone: .GULF OF MEXICO...
