The Tropical Weather Outlook

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. A cold front will clip the NE and E Gulf of Mexico today and tonight. A cold front will push into the NW Gulf Mon night...extend from the Florida Big Bend to the SW Gulf Tue and pass SE of the Gulf Wed. Winds are expected to reach gale force behind the front along the coast of Veracruz, Mexico Tue night. 
2. A cold front will move into the NW Caribbean Wed...reach from central Cuba to the Gulf of Honduras Wed and Wed night and from near the Windward Passage to NE Honduras Thu. Strong high pres will build across the NW Caribbean wake of the front ushering in fresh to strong N to NE winds across that portion of the sea.
