    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Gulf of America Gale Warning: A strong cold front will move across
    the basin Sunday through early Tuesday. Arctic high pressure of
    near 1040 mb will move into Texas Sun night and settle in behind=20
    the front, and is expected to drive strong to near gale-force NW=20
    to N winds across NW and N central portions of the Gulf Sun and=20
    Sun night. Gale conditions are forecast within the offshore=20
    waters of Tampico Sun night into Mon morning, and within the=20
    waters offshore Veracruz on Mon and Mon night. Seas will quickly=20
    build behind the front, with peak seas forecast to 17 ft in the=20
    SW Gulf on Monday.

    Please read the latest High Seas Forecast issued by the National=20

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough remains inland over Africa. The ITCZ extends
    from 05N10W to 01N49W. Scattered moderate convection is from the
    equator to 07N between 12W and 30W.=20

    GULF OF AMERICA...

    1012 low pressure is centered just south of Houston, TX, near
    29N96W. A warm front extends eastward across the northern Gulf to
    Cedar Key, FL. Scattered moderate convection is north of 28N
    between 90W and 95W. Fresh NE to E winds are north of the front
    with 3-5 ft seas. South of the front, gentle to moderate SE winds
    prevail with 3-5 ft seas.=20

    For the forecast, an elongated low pressure will form in the NW=20
    Gulf this afternoon and deepen as it tracks NE into Louisiana by=20
    early Sun pulling the warm front N of the area. This will take=20
    place in advance of an arctic front expected to move into the=20
    Texas coastal waters this afternoon. The front will then move SE=20
    across the entire basin Sun through Mon evening. Strong=20
    reinforcing arctic high pressure behind the front is expected to=20
    produce near gale force winds across NW portions of the Gulf Sun=20
    and Sun night, gale conditions over the offshore waters of Tampico
    Sun night into Mon morning, and gales over the waters offshore=20
    Veracruz Mon and Mon night. Seas are expected to quickly build=20
    across the basin starting Sun. Conditions will improve quickly=20
    from NW to SE Tue through Wed as the front moves SE into the NW=20
    Caribbean. Mariners are advised to keep up with the latest=20
    forecasts.

    CARIBBEAN SEA...

    This morning's scatterometer indicates gentle to moderate trades
    across the basin, with 3-6 ft seas. A surface trough is analyzed=20
    just west of the Windward Passage. Arriving E swell from the
    tropical Atlantic may bring locally higher seas to the passages
    between the Lesser Antilles.

    For the forecast, broad high pressure over the east central=20
    Atlantic will continue to maintain mostly fresh trades over the=20
    eastern and central Caribbean as well as the Tropical N Atlantic=20
    waters through early next week, while fresh winds offshore of=20
    Colombia pulse to strong speeds at night through Sun, then to near
    gale force afterward into midweek. Large E swell over the=20
    Tropical N Atlantic will slowly subside through the weekend, but=20
    remain around 8 ft through Tue night. A cold front will enter the=20
    NW Caribbean late Mon and begin to stall from eastern Cuba to the=20
    Gulf of Honduras by late Tue into Wed. Strong northerly winds will
    follow the front before gradually diminishing to moderate to=20
    fresh speeds Wed.=20

    ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    The earlier analyzed cold front in the east Atlantic has=20
    dissipated, though lingering N swell with 12-15 ft seas persists=20
    near the Canary Islands. Scatterometer data from earlier this=20
    morning indicates a large area of fresh to strong NE to E winds,=20
    from 10N to 25N east of 50W. Seas in this area of winds are 8-10=20
    ft, and reach the Lesser Antilles. A cold front is entering the=20
    far NW waters, with fresh to strong NE winds and building seas=20
    following the front. A surface trough producing a few showers is
    across the northern Bahamas. Elsewhere, high pressure and=20
    moderate or weaker winds and 4-7 ft seas prevail.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the trough and ridge will shift=20
    slowly NE through tonight. Fresh to strong S to SW winds will=20
    develop over the NW forecast waters Sun evening through early Mon=20
    in advance of a strong Arctic cold front that is expected to move=20
    offshore northeastern Florida early Mon. Winds to near gale force=20
    will develop just N of the area early on Mon. The front will reach
    from near 31N70W to the NW Bahamas and Straits of Florida Mon=20
    evening, from near 31N56W to the SE Bahamas and eastern Cuba Tue=20
    evening, then weaken as it reaches from near 31N51W to 26N60W then
    stationary to the SE Bahamas and eastern Cuba Wed afternoon.=20
    Fresh to strong northerly winds and rough seas are expected W of=20
    the front Mon afternoon through Tue afternoon, becoming mostly=20
    fresh NE winds Tue night and Wed within about 180 nm NW of the=20
    frontal boundary. The frontal boundary will become nearly=20
    stationary from near 29N55W to 25N66W and to near 20N70W by late=20
    Thu as another strong cold front moves over the NW forecast=20
    waters.

    extends from 03N20W to 01N35W and to 01S45W. No significant
    convection is evident near these boundaries.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    Please see the Special Features section above for information
    about a Gale Warning in the SW and Eastern Gulf waters.

    Ahead of the cold front described in the Special Features section,
    moderate or weaker winds and slight to moderate seas prevail.

    For the forecast, another cold front is expected to enter the NW=20
    Gulf early Wed and reach from the Florida panhandle to the western
    Gulf by late Wed..

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...=20

    A surface trough extends from a 1013 mb low pres just south of
    central Cuba to just north of western Panama. Moderate to fresh
    northerly winds and moderate seas are found behind the trough to
    84W. Meanwhile, moderate to fresh eastern winds and moderate seas
    are occurring in the south-central and eastern Caribbean.
    Elsewhere, moderate or lighter winds and slight to moderate seas
    are prevalent.

    For the forecast, an unusually strong cold front is forecast to=20
    move into the northwestern Caribbean Sat morning, then over=20
    southeastward merging with the trough. The cold front will reach=20
    from western Hispaniola to the northwest coast of Colombia Sun=20

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    Please see the Special Features section above for information
    about a Gale Warning in the W Atlantic.

    The pressure gradient is tightening in the western waters of the
    tropical Atlantic due to an approaching cold front, currently=20
    over the Gulf of America, and a couple of surface troughs ahead of
    this boundary. Moderate to locally strong E-SE winds are found
    between 65W and 76W. Seas in these waters are 5-8 ft.=20

    Farther east, a dissipating stationary front extends from 31N43W
    to the SE Bahamas. Moderate to fresh SW winds and rough seas are
    found ahead of this boundary to 35W and north of 27N. The
    remainder of the basin is under the influence of a 1025 mb high
    pressure system near 30N26W. Moderate to fresh easterly trade
    winds and rough seas are found south of a line from the Canary
    Islands to the Leeward Islands. Meanwhile, NW swell is producing
    rough seas north of the aforementioned line and east of 35W and
    also north of the dissipating stationary front and east of 65W.
    Elsewhere, moderate or lighter winds and moderate seas prevail.

    field situated over the eastern Gulf S of 28N and E of about 89W.
    Broken to overcast mostly low clouds with possible embedded light
    rain patches and isolated light showers are confined to the=20
    western part of the basin S of about 24N and W of 94W. These=20
    clouds extend to inland Mexico.

    For the forecast, the seas that area SE of the aforementioned line
    will subside by Mon morning. Afterward, a high building eastward=20
    will support gentle to moderate winds and moderate seas for the=20
    central and eastern Gulf. For the western Gulf, a period of fresh=20
    to strong southerly winds are anticipated from Mon evening through
    Tue morning. Another cold front is expected to enter the northern
    Gulf on Wed, then sweep southward across the Gulf through Thu=20
    night. The front will bring fresh to strong northerly winds and=20
    rough seas.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...=20

    A strong Arctic cold front extends from the central Atlantic to=20
    just NW of Puerto Rico, continuing southwest to near 11N77W.=20
    Strong to near gale-force NW to N winds and rough seas follow the=20
    front to near 84W while fresh winds are west of 84W. Seas to 12 ft
    are within the area of the strong to near gale force winds. Seas=20
    of 8 to 10 ft in N swell are within the area of fresh winds.=20
    Moderate to fresh trades are E of front S of 14N and 70W, and=20
    light to gentle E to SE winds are N of 14N and E of 70W. Seas are=20
    4 to 6 ft across these areas of the basin. Satellite imagery=20
    shows scattered moderate convection along and near the front N of=20
    15N, and also S of 15N between 71W and 75W.

    For the forecast, the Arctic cold front will move across Puerto=20
    Rico and the Virgin Islands on Mon, will stall from the northern=20
    Leeward Islands to the south-central Caribbean Mon night into Tue=20
    morning and dissipate Tue night. Strong to near-gale force N to NE
    winds and rough seas behind this front will gradually shift=20
    eastward from the western Caribbean to the central Caribbean=20
    through Tue. Winds and seas are forecast to gradually diminish=20
    across the central Caribbean by Wed evening. On Thu, another cold=20
    front is expected to approach the NW Caribbean and cause building=20
    seas and winds there toward the next weekend.=20

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    Please see the Special Features section for details on an ongoing
    Gale Warning for sections of the western Atlantic.

    Elsewhere, a cold front enters the far eastern Atlantic near 31N18W=20
    and continue to 27N30W, where it transitions to a weakening=20
    stationary front to near 26N36W. Moderate to fresh W to NW winds are=20
    W of the front to near 30W and N of 28N. Seas are in the range of 7=20
    to 10 ft (2 to 3 M) in NW swell with these winds. The weather=20
    pattern for the rest of the basin is basically controlled by a 1027=20
    mb high center analyzed N of the area near 33N37W. Its related=20
    gradient is generally allowing for mostly fresh trades to exist S of=20
    24N and E of the Leeward Islands. Seas are in the range of 8 to 10=20
    ft (2.5 to 3 M) in NE to E swell over this area. Latest=20
    scatterometer satellite data passes indicate moderate or weaker=20
    winds across the remainder of the basin. Latest altimeter satellite=20
    data passes and buoy observations reveal that rough seas cover the=20
    majority of the remainder of the waters, slightly lower from 25N to=20

    Africa.

    For the forecast west of 55W, aside from the Special Features=20
    outlook on seas conditions associated to cold front mentioned
    above, another cold front is forecast to move off the southeastern=20
    U.S. coast on Thu, resulting in building winds and seas north of 25N=20
