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 SW Florida near 26N82W to beyond
the Yucatan Channel. This front will drift southward and
dissipate over the next day. In response to a strong
extratropical cyclone over the U.S. Southern Great Plains,
southerly return flow will be enhanced in the western Gulf
through Thu. A ridge of high pressure north of the Gulf will
subsequently promote quiescent conditions through Sat morning.
Late Sat, southeasterly return flow will be enhanced ahead of
the next cold front, which should emerge off of the Texas coast
on Sun. 

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

A stationary front extends from western Cuba to the western Gulf
of Honduras. A surface trough extends from central Cuba to
eastern Honduras, associated with scattered showers and
thunderstorms. The front will drift eastward today before
dissipating tonight. A weak ridge to the north will promote only
moderate to fresh breeze tradewinds across the Caribbean through
Fri. As the ridge strengthens and increases the pressure
gradient, winds - especially north of Colombia and north of
Honduras - will be enhanced on Sat and Sun. 

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

A weak stationary front extends from an extratropical low at
31N78W to the NE Florida coast at 29N81W. Ahead of the  front, a
surface trough extends from 29N77W to NW Bahamas and is 
associated with scattered showers and thunderstorms. While this 
front should dissipate by Thu, a new cold front will be reaching
 the area tonight, pushing eastward and extending from 28N65W to
 27N75W on Fri morning. Strong NE winds will develop north of
the  front Thu and Fri before weakening Sat and Sun.
