and the Southwest North Atlantic including the Bahamas

...GULF OF MEXICO...

A cold front from extends from the Florida Big Bend to 28N90W to

surface trough is ahead of the front in the Bay of Campeche. The
front will move to the central Gulf waters today and gradually

develop over the SW Gulf today, and track NE toward South
Florida on Sun. The stalled front will then transition back to a
cold front and exit the southeastern Gulf on Mon. Numerous
showers and scattered thunderstorms will impact most of the
southern and eastern Gulf waters this weekend.

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

High pressure N of the area will support fresh to strong trade
winds across the central Caribbean, and gentle to moderate winds
over most of the remainder of the basin through Sun night. The
aerial extent of the strong trades will diminish and reduce to
the south-central Caribbean for the remainder period.

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