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

This is the last Marine Weather Discussion issued by the National Hurricane Center. For marine information, please see the Tropical Weather Discussion at: hurricanes.gov.


...GULF OF MEXICO...

High pressure along the middle Atlantic coasts extending SW to the NE Gulf will remain generally stationary throughout the week. This will support moderate to fresh E to SE winds over the basin through Tue. Winds will increase to fresh to strong late Tue through Fri as low pressure deepens across the Southern Plains.


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

A ridge NE of the Caribbean Sea will shift eastward and weaken, diminishing winds and seas modestly through Wed. Trade winds will increase basin wide Wed night through Fri night as high pressure builds across the western Atlantic.


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

A weakening frontal boundary from 25N65W to the central Bahamas will drift SE and dissipate through late Tue. Its remnants will drift N along 23N-24N. The pressure gradient between high pressure off of Hatteras and the frontal boundary will support an area of fresh to strong easterly winds N of 23N and W of 68W with seas to 11 ft E of the Bahamas late Tue through Fri.
