A cold front stretches from near Sarasota, Florida, to the northern Yucatan Peninsula where it stalls to NW Guatemala. This front will move SE of the area early on Mon and moderate to fresh N to NE winds over the E and SW gulf behind the front will diminish. High pressure will build across the Gulf in the wake of the front providing return gentle to moderate winds through Wed evening. A new cold front will come off the Texas coast on Wed evening with fresh to strong N to NE winds behind it. The front will extend from Pensacola, Florida to Veracruz, Mexico by Thu morning. ...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN 55W AND 64W...

Through the first half of the week, expect mainly moderate trades, with pulses of locally strong east winds N of Colombia tonight and Mon night. The tail of a cold front will enter the far NW Caribbean Tue, then stall along Cuba adjacent waters Tue night before dissipating on Wed. This will lead to moderate to locally fresh NE to E winds over this region, including the Yucatan channel. ...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS... High pressure centered between Bermuda and Puerto Rico will continue to weaken today, ahead of a cold front that moved off the coast of NE Florida this morning. The weakening ridge will result in winds diminishing to moderate to locally fresh north of the Greater Antilles through Mon night.
