GULF OF MEXICO... A stationary front passes through 32N74W in the Atlantic Ocean, to Florida near 29N82W, across the north central Gulf of Mexico, to a 1016 mb low pressure center that is near 28N93W, to the coast of Mexico near 24N97W.

The current stationary front will continue to generate scattered rainshowers and thunder across the northern half of the Gulf of Mexico. A SW Gulf of Mexico surface trough is generating similar rainshowers. The front will transition to a warm front later today, and dissipate along the northern Gulf coast at night. A surface trough will form in the Yucatan Peninsula, and move into the SW corner of the Gulf of Mexico at night with fresh to locally strong winds. CARIBBEAN SEA...

Scattered to numerous strong rainshowers cover the areas that are from 08N to 11N between 79W and 83W. Isolated moderate rainshowers are from 13N to 20N between 73W and 79W. The gradient, between high pressure to the north and lower pressure near the South American coast, will maintain fresh to strong trade winds in most of the central and southwest Caribbean Sea through the period, with pulses to near gale-force during the overnights along the coast of Colombia and Gulf of Venezuela. A tropical wave will move across the Lesser Antilles on Sunday, with rainshowers and fresh winds mainly for the Windward Islands and the tropical Atlantic Ocean waters. ATLANTIC OCEAN...

Moderate southwest winds are expected ahead of the stationary front N of 30N through tonight. Gentle to moderate east- southeast winds will dominate the remaining waters, except for north of Hispaniola and the approaches to the Windward Passage, where fresh to strong winds will pulse at night.
