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 complex frontal system along the Texas coast this morning
will reach from northern Florida to the coast of southern Texas 
to the western Bay of Campeche early Sat, then move northward as 
a warm front later in the weekend. Scattered thunderstorms are 
likely off the Texas coast late tonight into Sat. Areas of smoke 
and haze are possible in the W Gulf from agricultural fires in 
southern Mexico. Fresh southerly return flow will prevail early 
next week over much of the basin. 

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

Fresh to strong east to southeast winds are expected to pulse in
the Gulf of Honduras during the next several nights. Gentle to
moderate winds will continue elsewhere across the basin through
Sun, becoming moderate to fresh across most of the Caribbean
early next week.  

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

The next cold front will enter the waters to the east of northern
Florida late tonight into early Sat, then weaken and shift east 
of the forecast area on Sun. Fresh winds are expected in the 
vicinity of the front on Sat. In the wake of the front, high 
pressure will persist east of the area early next week, leading 
to moderate southerly winds east of Florida.
