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...

High pressure will gradually shift eastward as a cold front
slowly moves through the Lower Mississippi Valley, then stalls
over the northern Gulf by the weekend. Mainly moderate to fresh
return flow will prevail through the remainder of the week,
increasing to fresh to locally strong Fri night into Sat ahead
of the front. The stalled front is expected to linger over the
northern Gulf into early next week. 

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

High pressure north of the basin will gradually shift eastward
through early next week. Fresh to strong E to SE winds and
building seas will develop by Fri night across the northwest
Caribbean from the Gulf of Honduras through the Yucatan Channel.
Elsewhere, fresh to locally strong trade winds will develop over
the south-central Caribbean and south of Hispaniola this
weekend. 

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

A trough will linger from the central Atlantic to near Puerto 
Rico today. Northerly swell will move through the waters east of 
70W through this weekend. High pressure centered near 27N74W will
gradually shift eastward through early next week. Winds and seas
may increase offshore Florida this weekend ahead of a cold front
that will move over the southeastern U.S. and eventually pass 
offshore early next week.
