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 1010 mb low pressure system centered on the Texas coast north
of Corpus Christi will drift northward today. Scatterometer data
shows fresh easterly winds south of Louisiana associated with the
warm front. The low will move E-NE across the northern Gulf and
deepen through Fri, dragging a cold front across the Gulf. The 
front will be nearly stationary from central Cuba to the SW Gulf 
by Sat night. 

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

Gentle to moderate trades will prevail across the Caribbean Sea
through Sat. Scatterometer data shows winds generally 10 kt or
less this morning. A cold front crossing the Gulf of Mexico will
become stationary across Yucatan Channel Sat night and Sun. 
Expect fresh trade winds over the S central Caribbean early next 
week. 

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

A weakening cold front over the NW waters will stall this morning 
then transition to a warm front later today. Scatterometer data
shows fresh NE winds off the coast of southern Georgia and north-
eastern Florida. SE winds will increase E of Florida tonight and
Fri as a low pressure system in the western Gulf of Mexico moves
across the SE U.S. A trailing cold front from the low will reach
from Bermuda into the NW Bahamas on Sat, then stall and weaken 
from 30N70W to central Cuba on Sun.
