...GULF OF MEXICO...

A cold front extending from near Fort Myers, Florida to the

today, before dissipating over the southeast and south central
Gulf tonight. The next cold front will enter the northern Gulf
Fri night into Sat, then stall and lift northward Sat night
ahead of yet another cold front approaching the Texas coast by
late Sun. Smoke from agricultural fires in southern Mexico and
Honduras will continue to reduce visibility at times over the
southwest and south central Gulf.

High pressure north of the area will maintain pulses of fresh to
strong winds near the coast of Colombia through Fri night.
Expect fresh to strong winds in the Gulf of Honduras at night
during the upcoming weekend. Smoke from inland agricultural
fires will continue to reduce visibility off the Yucatan
Peninsula and offshore of Belize and Honduras.  

...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS...

A cold front extending from 31N70W to Fort Pierce, Florida will 
reach from Bermuda to south Florida late today, then move east of
the area Fri. Fresh to strong northerly winds are expected 
behind the front through tonight. A ridge will dominate the 
region in the wake of the front. Expect fresh to occasionally 
strong southerly winds north of 27N Sat and Sat night ahead of 
the next cold front. Another cold front should reach the area
