and Tropical North Atlantic from 07N to 19N between 55W and 64W

...GULF OF MEXICO...

High pressure over the western Atlantic will shift eastward and
weaken through Sat. Southeast return flow across the western
Gulf will gradually expand across the entire Gulf this weekend, 
becoming fresh to strong in the northwest Gulf Sat night. These 
winds diminish into early next week, as a cold front stalls near 
the Texas coast Sun through Mon night. 

...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN
55W AND 64W...

Winds and seas will diminish across the region through Sun as
high pressure north of the area weakens. Pulses of fresh to
strong winds will persist through the Windward Passage and south
of Hispaniola into early next week. 

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

A stationary front extending from 21N65W across the Dominican
Republic to 19N73W will dissipate later today. Winds and seas 
will diminish across the region through Sun as high pressure in 
the central Atlantic weakens. A cold front will move southward 
into the waters between Bermuda to northern Florida Sat night and
Sun. A reinforcing cold front will move south of 30N on Mon.
