Marine Weather Discussion for the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea,
and Tropical North Atlantic from 07N to 19N between 55W and 64W
and the Southwest North Atlantic including the Bahamas

...GULF OF MEXICO...

A surface trough is over the eastern Gulf. Latest surface
observations indicate moderate to fresh winds on either side of
the trough from 24N to 26N. Light to gentle winds prevail
elsewhere. Seas are in the 1-2 ft range over the northeast Gulf
with seas in the 2-3 ft range prevailing elsewhere. The trough
will drift slowly westward through the middle of next week. A
cold front will move into the NW Gulf late Thursday.

...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN
55W AND 64W... 

A dissipating stationary front extends from eastern Cuba to
eastern Honduras. Broad troughing continues over the 
southwestern Caribbean. Latest surface observations indicate 
moderate to fresh winds off the coast of Nicaragua as well as the
south central Caribbean. Light to gentle winds prevail elsewhere
across the Caribbean as well as the tropical N Atlantic forecast
waters. Seas are in the 4-6 ft range over the south central and 
southwest Caribbean. Seas in the 2-4 ft range prevail elsewhere 
in the Caribbean and 5-6 ft over the tropical N Atlc forecast 
zones. The front will dissipate today, while the broad trough 
will continue to linger the next several days. 

...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS...

A cold front extends from near 31N67W across the central Bahamas
into eastern Cuba. Latest surface observations indicate moderate
to fresh winds N of 30N and east of the front. Gentle to moderate
winds prevail elsewhere N of 29N as well as S of 22N, with light
to gentle winds prevailing elsewhere. Seas are in the 4-6 ft
range over the eastern waters, 3-5 ft elsewhere outside the
Bahamas, and 1-2 ft W of the Bahamas. The front will slowly drift
eastward today while dissipating. High pressure building in the
wake of the front will then prevail over the forecast waters.
