A cold front that currently extends from Apalachicola, Florida to 28N91W and to inland Texas near Corpus Christi will become stationary tonight. The front will begin to lift back north as a warm front late tonight into Sun morning. At the same time, low pressure will track northeastward along the upper Texas coast dragging a strong cold front into the NW Gulf. The front will quickly reach from near Mobile Bay to the central Gulf and to the eastern Bay of Campeche by early Sun evening and to southeast of the Gulf by Mon night, followed by fresh to strong northerly winds and building seas. Gale force winds are likely in the extreme SW Gulf Mon into Mon night. Winds diminish and seas subside Tue. High pressure in the wake of the front will shift eastward Tue night through Wed night allowing for moderate to fresh east to southeast flow to set up across the area. A frontal system is expected to move into the NW Gulf Wed night and reach from near Mobile Bay to the central Gulf and central Bay of Campeche by late Thu. Fresh to strong northerly winds and building seas will follow in behind this front. ...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN 55W AND 64W...

A cold front will reach the northwestern Caribbean Mon night, extend from eastern Cuba to the northeast part of Honduras Tue afternoon and become stationary through Wed night and dissipate Thu. The front will be followed by fresh to locally strong northwest winds and building seas. Winds and seas are expected to diminish Tue night. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected ahead of the front. ...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS... High pressure over the western Atlantic extending westward to Florida will continue to weaken through Sun as a weak cold front near 30N moves south to near 29N. The front will lift back north as a warm front through early Sun evening. Southerly winds will increase over the NW waters beginning Sun evening as a strong cold front approaches. The cold front will reach the southeastern U.S. coast early Mon, move over the northwest forecast waters Mon afternoon, reach from near 31N77W to South Florida Mon night, from near 31N70W to the southeastern Bahamas and to eastern Cuba by early Tue evening and weaken as it reaches from near 31N65W to eastern Cuba Wed evening.
