A ridge dominates the Gulf waters producing gentle to moderate E

the Veracruz area, and in the eastern Bay of Campeche on Fri.

Fresh to strong NE to E winds are expected near the coast of

moderate to locally fresh trade winds will prevail through Fri.
Similar wind speeds are forecast in the Gulf of Honduras Wed
night through Fri as a cold front moves across the Gulf of
Mexico. Fresh to locally strong northeast winds are also
expected in the Windward Passage and south of the Dominican
Republic Tue night through early Thu as high pressure builds
over the western Atlantic. 

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

A cold front extending from 31N60W to the central  Bahamas will
shift eastward and weaken on Tue. High pressure in  the wake of
the front will dominate the forecast waters through  Fri. The
