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...

High pressure near northern Florida will slide eastward across the
western Atlantic today, with a ridge persisting over the northern
Gulf. Southerly return flow over the western Gulf will gradually
spread eastward across the entire Gulf by Saturday. A cold front
will move off the Texas coast Sat morning, stall from Louisiana
to near Tampico Mexico Sun morning, then lift slowly northward as
a warm front by Sun evening. A stronger cold front will reach the
Texas coast on Monday. High pressure building southward behind 
the front may induce gale force winds near Veracruz Tue night.

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

A nearly stationary front extends across Hispaniola and Jamaica.
The front will weaken today, with the remnants of the boundary
expected to lift northward into Cuba through late Friday. Fresh 
trade winds will persist across the south-central Caribbean the 
remainder of the week, with the strongest winds mainly at night 
near the coast of Colombia. Long period NW swell reaching the NE
Caribbean Passages will spread west of the Leeward Islands today.
Fresh to strong E to SE winds are expected across the Gulf of 
Honduras tonight and Saturday, then subside Sat night.

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

A cold front extending from 22N65W to Hispaniola will weaken and 
stall this evening. High pressure behind the front will induce 
fresh trade winds south of 23N. S to SW winds over waters north 
of 27N will increase tonight and Saturday ahead of the next cold
front. The combined area of swell associated with a large low in
the central Atlantic and fresh trade winds in the deep tropics 
will dominate the forecast waters through Monday.
