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 near Tampa Bay, FL to 24N87W to 23N94W
where it becomes stationary to NE Mexico near 24N98W. The front
will shift SE across South Florida, the Straits of Florida and 
the SE Gulf through Sat while weakening. High pressure will build
in the wake of the front across the Gulf region. Another cold 
front will move into the NW Gulf Mon night, but will stall across
the western Gulf through Tue night. Expect fresh to strong northerly
winds behind the front. 

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

NE swell from Hurricane Leslie will affect Atlc waters and
Caribbean passages through today. Moderate trades will prevail
across the Tropical Atlc and E Caribbean through today. A broad area 
of low pressure could form over the west-central Caribbean Sea 
in a day or two and then move slowly westward toward Central 
America through early next week. Development of this system is no
longer anticipated. Mainly moderate to fresh trades will prevail
across the basin for the start of next week. The remnants of 
Nadine, likely as a surface trough, are expected to reach the 
Tropical N Atlc and the Lesser Antilles early next week. 

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

NE swell from Hurricane Leslie will affect regional  waters
through today. A weak cold front extends from 31N77W to 
south-central Florida. The front will reach from 31N70W to the
NW Bahamas by late Sat, and from 31N65W to central Florida by
Sun morning while lifting N and weakening. High pres will build
in the wake of the front.
