Florida panhandle to near Tampico Mexico by Fri night, then
reinforcing cold air will push a cold front southward into the
eastern Gulf this weekend.

Fresh to strong northeasterly winds will veer today as strong

eastern and central Caribbean Fri through the weekend.  

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

A cold front extending from 31N60W to 29N81W will  stall and
weaken through tonight. Strong high pressure north of  the front
