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 near Bradenton, Florida to 
across the central Gulf, becoming a warm front near 27N90W to 
weak 1021 mb low pres near 27N96W, then extending southward as a
stationary front to the central Bay of Campeche. The front will
sligthly lift northward in the central and eastern Gulf while 
dissipating, with the western Gulf portion lingering through Sun.
High pres builds down from the NE Sun night, shifting E ahead of
a cold front entering the NW Gulf early Tue. Strong to near gale
force winds will follow the front Tue into early Wed with gale 
force winds possibly developing off Veracruz, Mexico. Winds will
then diminish starting Wed afternoon as the front pushes SE of 
the basin. High pres and return flow will prevail across the 
basin Thu and Thu night. 

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

Strong high pressure building across the western Atlantic
through Tue will maintain strong tradewinds across the S central
Caribbean, pulsing to minimal gale force near the coast of
Colombia each night through Tue night. Fresh to strong trades
will expand to most of the central and NW basin through Wed
morning, including the Windward Passage and waters in lee of
Cuba tonight through Sun night. A cold front will stall near the
Yucatan Channel Thu morning before dissipating.  

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

A cold front extends from 30N61W to 28N75W then stalls to 27N80W.
The front will continue to move SE and extend from 30N45W to
27N54W where it will transition to a dissipating stationary
front to just NE of the northern Bahamas. High pres building N 
of the area will support fresh E to SE winds through the middle 
of next week, with strong winds pulsing each night off the coast 
of Hispaniola. NE swell in excess of 8 ft east of the Bahamas 
will subside by late Mon. Southerly winds will increase off NE 
Florida by late Tue ahead of another cold front moving off the 
Florida coast Tue night. The second front will reach from Bermuda
to S Florida by late Wed, then from 29N65W to N central Cuba Thu
morning before dissipating across the southern waters.
