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...

SE winds will strengthen across the western Gulf this weekend,
then increase further Mon night and Tue, ahead of two intense 
low pressure systems moving through the southern great plains of 
the U.S. Smoke and haze from ongoing fires in Mexico will reduce 
visibilities over the western Gulf and the Bay of Campeche during
the next several days. 

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

Fresh to locally strong easterly winds will prevail across the
south-central Caribbean and the Gulf of Honduras through Mon
morning. Smoke and haze from fires in Central America will 
reduce visibilities in the Gulf of Honduras during the next 
several days. 

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

A nearly stationary front east of the Bahamas will weaken and 
dissipate by tonight. Moderate trade winds are expected across 
most of the region as high pressure remains in place through 
Mon. An area of low pressure could form Mon through Tue along a 
trough axis expected to develop south of Bermuda.
