.SYNOPSIS...Gale-force winds will pulse off the northern coast of
Colombia at night through the weekend. A cold front in the NW
Caribbean has stalled from western Cuba to the Gulf of Honduras
where it 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 and Lee of Cuba.
