.SYNOPSIS...An arctic cold front has entered the western
Caribbean. It extends from central Cuba to inland central Belize.
Ahead of it, a trough extends from the eastern tip of Cuba to 
eastern Jamaica and to just north of central Panama. The front 
will overtake the trough early on Sun as it reaches from near 
Windward Passage to near southern Panama, and reach from Puerto 
Rico to NE Colombia by Sun evening. It will then begin to stall 
from eastern Puerto Rico to the northwest section of Venezuela Mon
and Mon night. Strong to near gale force north winds and rough 
seas are expected behind this front. By early Tue, fresh to strong
northwest to north winds will prevail roughly west of a line from
the Virgin Islands to NE Colombia to central Cuba along with seas
to near 12 ft. These winds and seas will likely diminish in 
coverage on Wed and further on Thu as another cold front 
approaches the northwestern Caribbean.
