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 squall line over the N central Gulf will continue moving
eastward and dissipate later today. Thunderstorms associated
with the squall line could be strong to severe with gusty winds.
Areas of smoke and haze are possible in the SW Gulf from
agricultural fires in SE Mexico. Fresh to strong SE return flow
will prevail through Tue night over much of the Gulf. A weak
cold front will sink slowly into the NW Gulf Tue night and reach
from Louisiana to the SW Gulf Wed night before stalling and
weakening. 

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

A weak high pressure ridge extends from a 1023 mb Bermuda High
at 32N67W to the SE United States. The ridge is contributing to
fresh E to SE trades over the Gulf of Honduras today. These
winds should increase up to strong tonight through Wed night as
the pressure gradient tightens between the Atlantic ridge and
lower pressures over Central America. Moderate to fresh trades
will continue elsewhere across the basin through at least Thu
night. Areas of smoke and haze are possible in the SW Gulf of
Honduras from agricultural fires in Central America.  

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

A weakening cold front is stalling along 28N today. The frontal
remnants will then drift northward and gradually  dissipate
tonight. South of the front, a weak high pressure ridge extends
from a 1023 mb Bermuda High at 32N67W to the SE United  States.
High pressure will reorganize across the W Atlc Mon and  Tue
leading to moderate to fresh S winds north of 25N and west of 
75W, and moderate to fresh SE tradewinds south of 24N. These
winds will relax to gentle to moderate on Wed and Thu.
