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 extending from near Naples Florida to just NE of
the Straits of Yucatan near 22N95W will stall over the Straits
of Florida this afternoon and dissipate by Friday morning. A warm
front will form over the west central Gulf on Thu, then drift
slowly N through Sat. Winds N of the front could become strong
Thu night and Fri. Otherwise, high pres over the western N Atlc 
will generally support moderate to occasionally fresh E to SE 
winds Fri through Sun night. 

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

High pressure will strengthen over the western north Atlantic 
during the next few days, causing trade winds over the south 
central Caribbean to strengthen. Strong winds will set up along 
the Coast of Colombia. Winds could reach near gale force in this
area each night through Sun night. 

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

A cold front extends SW from 31N71W to 29N77W to near Port St 
Lucie Florida. The front is slowing and weakening and will merge 
with the boundary currently near the Turks and Caicos Islands by 
Thu evening. The area of 8 ft seas associated with this front 
currently just to the E of Florida will subside by dawn Thu. High
pressure building over the forecast waters in the wake of the 
front will support fresh to strong trade winds over the waters N 
of 23N Thu night and Fri. This area of winds and seas will shift 
to the NE away from the Bahamas Fri night through Sun as a N to S
surface trough develops off the Florida coast, then shifts to 
the NE of the Bahamas.
