The Tropical Weather Outlook

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. A weak cold front extends from near the Florida Panhandle to 24N97W. The front will reach from the Florida Big Bend area to near Tampico, Mexico tonight where it will become stationary. A reinforcing cold front will move into the NW Gulf of Mexico Wed night...pushing SE of the entire basin Fri. High pres will build in the wake of the front.
2. A cold front will approach the far NW Caribbean Fri...stalling and dissipating along 20N through Sat. Large NE-E swells will propagate across the tropical N Atlantic waters gradually subsiding through Sat.
