000 AGXX40 KNHC 011706 MIMATS Marine Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 106 PM EDT Thu Oct 1 2020 Marine Weather Discussion for the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, and Tropical North Atlantic from 07N to 19N between 55W and 64W and the Southwest North Atlantic including the Bahamas ...GULF OF MEXICO... A stationary front from SW Florida to E Bay of Campeche will slowly dissipate by early Fri. A reinforcing cold front will move through the NE Gulf Fri, eventually stalling and dissipating across S Florida and SE Gulf by late Sat. Meanwhile, environmental conditions are expected to be conducive for development of a tropical wave over the W Caribbean, and a tropical depression is likely to form over the NW Caribbean Sea or the south-central Gulf of Mexico on the weekend. This will likely support strong to near gale-force winds and building seas over the mainly the south-central Gulf from late Fri to early next week. ...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN 55W AND 64W... Environmental conditions are expected to be conducive for development of a tropical wave over the W Caribbean, and a tropical depression is likely to form over the NW Caribbean Sea or the south-central Gulf of Mexico, possibly before the system reaches the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula on Saturday. If the system does develop, then SE to S winds over the NW Caribbean could reach strong to near-gale between Friday night and Saturday night. This pattern will also support fresh to strong winds over the eastern and central Caribbean between the low pressure and the Bermuda High over the central Atlantic. ...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS... A stationary front from extending from 31N76W to SE Florida Florida will gradually dissipate through Fri. A reinforcing cold front will move into the waters off northeast Florida late Fri, before also stalling from near 31N78W to central Florida by Sat afternoon and dissipating through Sun. Meanwhile the Bermuda High north of our area and lower pressure in the northwest Caribbean will support moderate to fresh trades winds south of 20N, occasionally pulsing to strong winds north of Hispaniola during the overnight hours through Sunday night. Looking ahead, a third weak front will move south and stall from 31N72W to Central Florida by Mon night. $$ .WARNINGS...Any changes impacting coastal NWS offices will be coordinated through AWIPS II Collaboration Chat, or by telephone: .GULF OF MEXICO...
