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 high pressure ridge building over the NE Gulf and persistent
low pressure near the coast of Mexico will support increasing SE
winds and building seas over the western and central Gulf
through midweek. A cold front will be near the Texas coast until
Thu, when it will move into the NW Gulf, before stalling by the
end of the week.  

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

High pressure will build over the western Atlantic through late
week. Fresh to strong winds will persist over the south-central
Caribbean, with gale-force winds forecast to pulse near the
coast of Colombia Thu night and Fri night. Expect increasing
winds and building seas over the NW Caribbean, including the
Gulf of Honduras, from Wed through Fri. 

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

A high pressure ridge will build westward across the northern
waters through midweek and persist into this weekend.  Light to
gentle winds will freshen over the southern waters later this
week as the ridge builds.
