A new cold front will move into NW waters Tue morning...stretch from the Florida Big Bend to Corpus Christi, Texas Wed morning and weaken from Sarasota Bay to Corpus Christi Thu morning.
2.Fresh to strong trade winds lie across the S central Caribbean with stronger winds found close to the coast of Colombia briefly reaching gale force during the late night and early morning hours today through early Mon. A series of cold fronts passing N of the area have increased NE winds in the lee of Cuba and the Windward Passage this morning and should expand to the S coast of Hispaniola early Mon before dissipating. The pressure gradient will relax by Mon night...and winds and seas will decrease over the forecast waters except the Gulf of Honduras where a fresh SE breeze will pulse Wed and Thu mornings.
