...GULF OF MEXICO...

A ridge will dominate most of the Gulf waters this weekend. A
cold front will reach the Texas coast this morning, then weaken 
and lift northward tonight ahead of another cold front that is 
expected to reach the NW Gulf Sun night. Smoke from agricultural
fires in southern Mexico and Honduras could reduce visibility, 
mainly in the SW Gulf. 

...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN
55W AND 64W...

High pressure north of the area will maintain fresh to strong
winds near Colombia through Sun. Fresh to strong winds are also
expected in the Gulf of Honduras at night through Wed. Smoke
from agricultural fires in Central America could reduce
visibility near the Yucatan Peninsula and offshore of Belize and
Honduras.  

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

A cold front will move across the northern waters tonight and 
Sun, then stall and weaken Sun night. Fresh to strong southerly 
winds are expected ahead of this front. Another cold front will 
move into the northern waters Mon night.
