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...

Weak high pressure of 1016 mb is centered over the eastern gulf
near 25N87W, with a ridge extending west-Northwestward to 
southern Texas. A weak cold front will move across the northern 
Gulf Mon morning before becoming stationary across the NE Gulf 
and northern Florida later on Mon and through Wed, dissipating by
early Thu. A trough will form over the western Yucatan Peninsula
each evening and move westward across the SW Gulf during the 
overnight hours through the period as the weak high pressure 
remains in place.

For day 5 (Fri) expect increasing E to SE winds along with
building seas over the far S central waters, and in the entrance
to the Yucatan Channel as E winds significantly increase across 
much of the Caribbean Sea. 

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

High pressure in the central Atlantic will maintain fresh to
strong trades in the S central Caribbean with mainly moderate to
fresh trades elsewhere, except gentle to moderate over the NW
Caribbean. The combination of the high pressure with the lowering 
of pressures expected to west of Central America by the middle 
of the upcoming week will bring an increase of the present 
moderate to fresh trades to strong intensity over much of the 
central and western sections of the Caribbean, including the Gulf
of Honduras. These winds are expected to expand eastward to much
of the eastern Caribbean Thu night through Fri night. Seas are
forecast to build to around 10 ft in S central part of the sea
Mon through Tue morning, then subside to 8 ft Tue night.

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

Surface ridging will prevail from the central Atlc to the Gulf
of Mexico today. A cold front will move across the Carolinas 
and into the western Atlantic Mon, and move south of 31N Mon 
night. The tail end of the front will stall across the waters 
north of 28N Tue through Wed night before becoming diffuse on 
Thu. Otherwise, generally weak high pressure will be present 
across the basin during the period.
