.SYNOPSIS...Winds will pulse to fresh to strong winds offshore
of NW Colombia tonight, then return Fri night through the weekend
and into early next week. Elsewhere, moderate or weaker winds
will prevail through tonight, except moderate to fresh across the
remainder of the central Caribbean. A cold front will move into
the NW Caribbean Thu, stall from E Cuba to Honduras on Fri, and
dissipate on Sat. The pressure gradient may tighten in the wake of
the front later in the upcoming weekend and early next week
leading to increasing winds and building seas across the basin,
while a reinforcing front and surge of winds also arrives in the
NW Caribbean by early Mon.
