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 extends from the Straits of Florida to 23N88W
and to the eastern Bay of Campeche. Moderate to fresh east to 
southeast winds behind the front will become gentle to moderate
in speeds this afternoon as the front weakens. The front is 
expected to dissipate by this evening. High pressure elsewhere 
over the area will shift eastward through Tue. The moderate to 
fresh northeast winds become mainly southerly, gentle to moderate
in speeds, on Mon over much of the area. These winds shift to 
the southwest over the NW Gulf late Mon night into Tue as a weak 
cold front moves across the NW and north- central waters. On Wed,
the cold front is expected to reach from the NE Gulf to near 
26N91W and stationary from there to southern Texas. The front 
will then lift back to the north as a warm front Thu as yet 
another cold front advances across Texas and approaches far NW 
Gulf coast late on Thu night.

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

High pressure north of the area over the central Atlantic will
shift eastward through Mon. Strong trades along the coast of
Colombia will diminish early Sun. Strong trades within about 60 
nm south of central Hispaniola will diminish this afternoon, 
then pulse back up to strong tonight and diminish on Mon. 
Elsewhere, trades will weaken Tue through Thu. Scattered showers 
and thunderstorms over the Yucatan Channel and near northwestern
Cuba will lift northward through tonight.

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

A stationary front extending from 31N74W to the NW Bahamas and
to the Straits of Florida will dissipate by this evening. Its 
remnants will lift back N as a warm front tonight into Mon. 
Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms associated with this
boundary and its remnants will continue over much of the 
northwest waters through Mon night. Fresh northeast winds along 
with long period NE swell are over the SE waters. These winds 
will diminish to mainly moderate winds on Mon, and the swell will
slowly decay as well through Mon.
