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...

Strong high pressure over the western Atlantic will continue to
shift slowly eastward and support fresh to strong E winds over
the southeast Gulf and the Florida Straits into Fri. Southeast
return flow across the western Gulf will gradually expand across
the entire Gulf through the weekend. The next cold front is
expected to stall near the Texas coast Sun into Mon, before
lifting north Tue. 

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

Strong high pressure over the western Atlantic continues to
support fresh to strong winds across the northwest and
south-central Caribbean. This will diminish slightly by Sat, but
pulses of fresh to strong winds will persist through the
Windward Passage, south of Hispaniola, and off Colombia into
early next week. Seas over the tropical Atlantic waters east of
the Leeward and Windward Islands will remain 8 ft or greater
through Fri night in mixed NW swell and E wind waves.  

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

A stationary front extending from 22N65W to the NW  coast of the
Dominican Republic is expected to drift northward  and meander
through tonight before dissipating early Fri. Strong  high
pressure north of the front will support fresh to strong NE
winds with large seas in mixed NW and NE swell south of 28N
through Fri evening. Another cold front will move southward into
 the waters between Bermuda to northeast Florida Sat night
through  Sun, sinking southward to along roughly 25N Mon night
and Tue.
