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...

Southerly return flow has established over the western Gulf
ahead of the next cold front that will move into the northern
Gulf early Fri morning. The front will stall from central
Florida to Brownsville Texas Fri night, then drift northward on
Sat. A reinforcing cold air will push the front again across the
Gulf waters by late Sat, reaching the SE Gulf waters on Sun,
where it will stall by Sun night into Mon.  

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

A stationary front stretching from Haiti to Panama will weaken
and gradually dissipate today. High pressure building north of
the Caribbean Sea will support fresh to strong trade winds over
the south-central Caribbean. Strong to near gale-force winds are
expected near the coast of Colombia at night. 

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

Winds and seas associated with a cold front extending from
31N57W to Haiti will diminish today as the front moves eastward
and weakens. Southerly winds will increase east of  northern
Florida on Fri as a cold front approaches the area. The  front
will stall from 31N75W to Cape Canaveral on Sat, then lift 
northward Sat night as a low pressure system develops northeast
of Jacksonville Florida. As a result, fresh to strong S to SW
winds  are expected over the north waters on Sun.
