The front will weaken as it stretches from Palacios, Texas to Mexico near 18N95W Thu night...then slowly drifts E...stretching from Pensacola Bay, FL to the N central Yucatan by Sat night and dissipates from the Florida Big Bend to 24N89W Sun night.
2. A tight pressure gradient between strong high pressure located N of area and lower pressure across the Gulf of Mexico will result in fresh to strong winds across much of the Caribbean Sea through Fri. The area of high pressure N of the area will weaken by Fri and shift W before building eastward again over the weekend behind a cold front expected to move through the central Atlantic.
