trade winds across the basin. A cold front will enter the NW
Caribbean this evening, then reach from western Cuba to the Gulf
of Honduras Tue morning with fresh NW winds behind it. The front
will stall and dissipate from eastern Cuba to eastern Honduras by
early Wed. Fresh to strong winds offshore Colombia will diminish

today. Elongated low pressure will move across south- central
Florida and the NW Bahamas tonight, then track NE and intensify
Tue, moving N of 31N by late Tue night. The low will drag a cold
front across the western part of the area. Strong to near gale-
force southerly winds and active convection will prevail ahead of
the front and low Tue through Wed morning. By late Wed night,
marine conditions will improve under a weak pressure pattern. The
next cold front is expected to move offshore the SE United States
