AGADIR GALE WARNING: AN ENHANCED PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN A 1036
MB HIGH CENTERED NEAR 33N28W AND LOWER PRESSURE OVER N AFRICA WILL
SUPPORT A ROUND OF N TO NE GALE-FORCE WINDS BETWEEN THE CANARY
ISLANDS AND THE COAST OF MOROCCO. A GALE WARNING IS IN EFFECT
UNTIL 2100 UTC TODAY. FOR MORE DETAILS, REFER TO THE METEO-FRANCE
HIGH SEAS FORECAST LISTED ON THEIR WEBSITE:

..MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ
THE MONSOON TROUGH ENTERS THE ATLANTIC NEAR 09N13W AND CONTINUES
SW TO 05N19W. THE ITCZ CONTINUES FROM 05N19W TO 01N50W. SCATTERED
MODERATE CONVECTION IS NOTED FROM 00N TO 04N BETWEEN 20W AND 50W.
..GULF OF AMERICA
A COLD FRONT ENTERS THE GULF FROM THE BIG BEND OF FLORIDA TO NEAR
29N86W. A PRE-FRONTAL SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDS FROM JUST NORTH OF
TAMPA BAY TO NEAR 27N88W. ANOTHER SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDS ACROSS
THE W GULF FROM THE BAY OF CAMPECHE TO NEAR 23N96W TO 26N94W.
MODERATE TO LOCALLY FRESH WINDS IN CYCLONIC FLOW ARE OCCURRING IN
THE CENTRAL TO E GULF AROUND THE COLD FRONT AND PRE-FRONTAL
TROUGH. MODERATE TO FRESH E TO SE WINDS PERSIST ACROSS THE W GULF,
ALSO IN CYCLONIC FLOW AROUND THE SURFACE TROUGH. SLIGHT SEAS
PREVAIL ACROSS THE BASIN.
FOR THE FORECAST, HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE BASIN WILL GENERALLY
SUPPORT LIGHT TO GENTLE SE TO S WINDS OVER THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL
GULF, AND GENTLE TO MODERATE WINDS OVER THE EASTERN PART OF THE
BASIN INTO WED. A SURFACE TROUGH WILL DEVELOP OVER THE YUCATAN
PENINSULA AND MOVE INTO THE BAY OF CAMPECHE NIGHTLY THROUGH EARLY
THIS WEEK, SUPPORTING PULSES OF FRESH TO LOCALLY STRONG WINDS OVER
ADJACENT WATERS. A COLD FRONT WILL SKIRT THE NE GULF EARLY TODAY.
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE BASIN IN ITS WAKE WILL LEAD TO
MODERATE TO FRESH SOUTHEAST WINDS AND BUILDING SEAS ACROSS THE NW
GULF BY THU.
..CARIBBEAN SEA
A GALE WARNING IS IN EFFECT OFFSHORE COLOMBIA. PLEASE REFER TO
THE SPECIAL FEATURES SECTION ABOVE FOR MORE INFORMATION.
ASIDE FROM THE AREA OF GALE FORCE WINDS, FRESH TO STRONG E WINDS

A GALE WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR THE WATERS BETWEEN THE CANARY
ISLANDS AND THE MOROCCAN COAST. PLEASE REFER TO THE SPECIAL
FEATURES SECTION ABOVE FOR DETAILS.
HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES THE ATLANTIC DISCUSSION WATERS. FRESH TO
STRONG WINDS PREVAIL OVER MUCH OF THE ATLANTIC WATERS SOUTH OF A
LINE RUNNING FROM THE CANARY ISLANDS TO THE NORTHERN COAST OF
PUERTO RICO. SEAS ACROSS THIS LARGE REGION ARE 8-11 FT. TO THE
NORTH OF THIS LINE, MODERATE TO FRESH WINDS IN ANTICYCLONIC FLOW
ARE OBSERVED, ALONG WITH MODERATE SEAS. AREAS S OF ANOTHER LINE
RUNNING FROM THE COAST OF SENEGAL NEAR DAKAR TO THE N COAST OF
BRAZIL NEAR SAO LUIS ARE SEEING MAINLY MODERATE N TO NE WINDS AND
SEAS OF 6-10 FT.
FOR THE FORECAST WEST OF 55W, HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN
ATLANTIC WILL SUPPORT GENTLE BREEZES AND SLIGHT TO MODERATE SEAS
NORTH OF 22N THROUGH WED. THE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT
EASTWARD ENABLING A WEAK COLD FRONT TO MOVE OFF THE NORTHEAST
FLORIDA COAST EARLY TODAY BEFORE DISSIPATING. FRESH TO LOCALLY
STRONG WINDS ARE LIKELY TO PULSE OFF THE NORTHERN COAST OF
HISPANIOLA INTO WED. ANOTHER COLD FRONT MAY MOVE INTO WATERS
BETWEEN NORTHEAST FLORIDA AND BERMUDA WED. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BUILD IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT, BRINGING AN INCREASE IN WINDS
ACROSS MUCH OF THE WATERS S OF 28N BY THE END OF THE WEEK AND
WITH LITTLE CHANGE IN MARINE CONDITIONS EXPECTED INTO SAT NIGHT.
