Synopsis for Caribbean Sea and Tropical N Atlantic from

.SYNOPSIS...Gale-force winds will pulse off the northern coast
of Colombia at night through the weekend. A stationary front from
western Cuba to the Gulf of Honduras will gradually dissipate
through Sat. Some rough seas are possible near the Yucatan
Channel through Sat. High pressure will build in as the front
washes out with moderate to locally fresh winds and moderate seas
across much of the basin, locally strong near the Windward
Passage, S of the Dominican Republic, and in the Lee of Cuba.
Similar winds may develop near the Gulf of Honduras by mid-week.
