and the Southwest North Atlantic including the Bahamas

...GULF OF MEXICO...

A cold front in the NW Gulf from Lake Charles LA to Brownsville 
TX will stall over the northern Gulf later today. Reinforcing 
cool air will push the eastern part of the front to the Yucatan 
Channel Fri night. Moderate to fresh southeast winds are expected
in the western and central Gulf this weekend. 

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

A ridge north of the area will support moderate trades over much
of the basin this week. Fresh to strong SE winds will continue 
in the NW Caribbean, including Gulf of Honduras, through tonight.
Hazy sky conditions and areas of smoke due to agricultural fires
in Central America are expected to continue through the end of 
the week. Stronger trades are likely in the central Caribbean on 
Sun as high pressure builds to the north. 

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

A ridge along 27N will support gentle to moderate winds across 
most of the region through tonight. A cold front will move east 
of northern Florida Thu night, and reach from 31N76W to the 
Straits of Florida on Fri. The northern part of the front will 
continue eastward across the northern forecast waters through Sat
night.
