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 cold front extends from the NE Gulf, into the N central Gulf,
into the SW corner of the area. The latest surface observations
show fresh N to NE winds to the north and west of the front. The
front will reach from Tampa Florida to 24N96W to 20N96W, about 60
nm to the south of Veracruz Mexico by late tonight. Pulses of 
strong winds are expected between the front, and along the coast
of Mexico, through late Fri. The front will stall and weaken 
across the southern Gulf Fri and Sat. Strong high pressure north 
of the area will freshen easterly winds in the eastern Gulf this 
weekend.

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

A surface trough extends from a 1007 mb low pressure center that
is near 14N77W, northward, between Jamaica and Haiti, into the 
Windward Passage. Widely scattered moderate to isolated strong 
rainshowers are within 360 nm SW semicircle of the 1007 mb low 
pressure center. Scattered to numerous strong rainshowers are 
within 210 nm to 420 nm NE quadrant of the 1007 mb low pressure 
center. Winds and seas will increase in the NW Caribbean, 
especially the near the Yucatan Channel Fri night and Sat, as 
winds surge across west-central Cuba. A broad area of low 
pressure will develop slowly in the SW Caribbean through Sat, 
then dissipate by Sunday morning.

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

A cold front is pushing off the northern coast of Florida east 
of Jacksonville. A surface trough is along 28N64W 25N66W 22N67W.
Widely scattered moderate to isolated strong rainshowers are from
20N to 24N between 63W and 75W. Surface observations and ASCAT 
data show light to gentle winds in the northern waters, and 
moderate to fresh trade winds in the southern waters. The cold 
front will stall from Bermuda to the Straits of Florida by late 
Fri. Strong high pressure building north of the front will induce
strong 20-30 kt NE winds to the east of northern Florida Friday 
night and Saturday, becoming fresh to strong across most of the 
forecast area Sunday.
