...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

The monsoon trough extends from Sierra Leone near 08N12W to near
02N20W. The ITCZ continues from 02N20W to 01S30W to the coast of
Brazil near 02S45W. Scattered moderate to isolated strong
convection is S of the monsoon trough from 01N-10N between 02W-
06W. Scattered moderate to isolated strong convection is along
the monsoon trough from 02N-05N between 15W-20W. Scattered
moderate convection is S of the ITCZ from 03S-07S between 20W-
36W. Isolated moderate convection is N of the ITCZ from 01S-04N
between 40W-51W.

GULF OF MEXICO...

Scattered showers are over the NW Gulf of Mexico N of 26N and W of
88W. A 1018 mb high is centered over the NE Gulf near 30N85W.
05-20 kt SE surface winds are over the Gulf of Mexico with weakest
winds over the NE Gulf, and strongest winds along the coast of
the Yucatan Peninsula.

High pressure across the area will retreat eastward ahead of a
cold front moving into the northwest Gulf Thu. The front will
reach the far eastern Gulf by Fri evening, where it will become
stationary and weaken to a trough Sat. Scattered showers and
thunderstorms are expected with this frontal system.

CARIBBEAN SEA...

A 1009 mb low is centered over Lake Maracaibo Venezuela near
10N72W. Isolated moderate convection is over N Colombia and NW
Venezuela. Scattered showers are over the S Caribbean S of 13N

E Hispaniola. 10-20 kt tradewinds are over the Caribbean Sea with
strongest winds along the coast of N Colombia. In the upper
levels, strong subsidence covers the entire Caribbean Sea.

Moderate to fresh trade winds across the south central and
eastern Caribbean will slowly diminish as high pressure north of
the area weakens.

ATLANTIC OCEAN...

A 1019 mb high is off the coast of N Florida near 30N78W. A
dissipating stationary front is over the W Atlantic from 31N67W to
25N69W. Scattered showers are within 60 nm of the front. A 1012
mb low is centered over the central Atlantic near 29N50W. A
surface trough extends S from the low to 21N53W. Scattered
moderate convection is well E of the low from 27N-31N between 41W-
44W.

The dissipating stationary front will fully dissipate today. The
central Atlantic low will move to 32N50W over the next 24 hours.
The next cold front will move off the southeastern United States
coast by Saturday. Scattered showers and thunderstorms, some with
gusty winds, are expected to affect much of the area north of 27N
Friday through late Saturday.
