For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. A cold front will move E across the western Gulf of Mexico waters tonight...across the central waters on Fri and pass through the Florida Straits on Sat afternoon. Another cold front will pass SE across the NE Gulf of Mexico waters on Mon and Mon night.
2. A cold front will enter the NW Caribbean on Sat afternoon and weaken from the Windward Passage to Nicaragua on Sun and Mon. Otherwise mainly moderate trades will prevail across the area through the period.
