MARINE WEATHER DISCUSSION FOR GULF OF MEXICO...CARIBBEAN SEA AND 
SOUTHWEST NORTH ATLC S OF 31N W OF 55W.

UPPER LEVELS...
RIDGE BETWEEN 15N AND 20N WILL PREVAIL THROUGH SUNDAY.  NORTH OF 
RIDGE STRONG SHORTWAVE IS OVER THE SOUTHERN U.S. NEAR ALABAMA 
THIS EVENING AND WILL MOVE EAST REACHING FLORIDA WEDNESDAY AND 
OVER THE ATLANTIC WEDNESDAY NIGHT. SHORTWAVE WILL PASS EAST OF 
BERMUDA EARLY FRIDAY.  THEREAFTER A NEARLY ZONAL PATTERN WILL 
PREVAIL NORTH OF THE RIDGE, ABOUT 25N, THROUGH SUNDAY.

SURFACE...
COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHORTWAVE WILL BE OVER THE 
CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO THIS EVENING.  THE FRONT IS FORECAST TO 
ONLY HAVE A WEAK HIGH BEHIND THE FRONT.  AS THE FRONT MOVES OFF 
THE EAST U.S. COAST THE FRONTAL TROUGH WILL DEVELOP PRODUCING 
STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS EAST OF THE FRONT.  THIS IS DUE TO THE 
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE INITIALLY CENTERED NORTH OF BERMUDA 
COUPLED WITH THE DEVELOPING FRONTAL TROUGH. GALE CONDITIONS 
WILL BE JUST NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA WITH A LOW PRESSURE 
CENTER DEVELOPING ALONG THE CAROLINA COAST.  THIS WILL ALSO 
INCREASE THE WESTERLY WIND BEHIND THE FRONT OVER THE ATLANTIC 
AREA.  THE ENTIRE SYSTEM SHOULD PASS EAST OF THE ATLANTIC 
FORECAST AREA LATE FRIDAY OR SATURDAY.

THE AREA SOUTH OF ABOUT 24N WILL HAVE NEAR TO LESS THAN NORMAL 
WINDS.
