000 AGXX40 KNHC 212137 AAA MIMATS Marine Weather Discussion...Updated NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 537 PM EDT Wed Oct 21 2020 Updated Warnings section 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... The combination of high pressure over the eastern United States and western Atlantic with broad low pressure over western Caribbean will support fresh to strong easterly winds over the eastern Gulf through early Thu. Mainly fresh easterly winds will persist over the eastern Gulf through Sat. A weak cold front will move into the NW Gulf Sat, then reach from west-central Florida to southern Texas late Sat and become stationary. Gentle to moderate northerly winds will follow in behind the front on Sat. Otherwise, gentle to moderate winds will continue elsewhere across the area through early next week. ...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN 55W AND 64W... Troughing across the western Caribbean extending from a 1009 mb low just south of Cozumel southeastward to a 1008 mb low near 15N81W and to near 11N81W is producing scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms over most of the western Caribbean. This system will persist over the next few days, and any development is expected to be slow to occur. Winds and seas are expected to increase east and southeast of the Windward Islands on Sat due to a tropical wave that is currently well east of the Windward Islands. The wave will move across the eastern Caribbean late Sat into early next week. ...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS... Major Hurricane Epsilon well east of the forecast waters near 29.6N 60.0W 955 mb at 5 PM EDT is moving NW at 9 kt. Maximum sustained winds 100 kt gusts 120 kt. Epsilon will move to near 30.5N 60.9W late tonight, to near 31.8N 61.6W Thu afternoon with maximum sustained winds 95 kt gusts 115 kt, then move north of the area to near 33.0N 62.0W late Thu night. The gradient between strong high pressure over the western Atlantic and Hurricane Epsilon will maintain strong winds and large seas over the western waters through Fri. Long-period northeast to east swell will continue to impact the waters north and northeast of the Bahamas through late Sat. $$ .WARNINGS...Any changes impacting coastal NWS offices will be coordinated through AWIPS II Collaboration Chat, or by telephone: .GULF OF MEXICO...
