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 stationary front extending from NE Florida to across the NE
Gulf to southern Mississippi will slowly dissipate through Wed.
A surface trough will develop along the Yucatan Peninsula each
afternoon, pushing W into the SW Gulf during the evening before
dissipating. Winds are forecast to pulse to fresh with each
trough passage into the SW Gulf, except increasing to fresh to
strong Thu night with a tighter pres gradient. Otherwise, 
ridging extending from the Atlc will prevail across the basin,
with mainly gentle to moderate anticyclonic winds. Seas will be 3
ft or less in the NE half of the basin, and 2 to 4 ft through Thu
in the SW half building to 3 to 5 ft thereafter.

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

Fresh to strong trades will persist in the central Caribbean
with winds near gale force at times in the S central Caribbean.
Winds may increase to gale force briefly Fri night. The strongest
winds are likely near the coast of Colombia as the pressure 
gradient tightens in the wake of a tropical wave with high pres 
building behind. Moderate to fresh trades will prevail elsewhere,
pulsing to fresh to strong at times in the Gulf of Honduras where
the pres gradient occasionally tightens.

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

A stationary front across the NW portion will linger through the
next several days while Atlantic ridging prevails to the S of
the front. Mainly gentle to moderate anticyclonic winds will
prevail, except increasing to fresh along the N coast of
Hispaniola Thu night, then increasing to fresh to strong Fri
night and again Sat night. Seas will be mainly be 3 to 5 ft, 
except 3 ft or less in the NW waters and SW of the Bahamas.
