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 reinforcing frontal trough extending from the Florida Keys to
just N of the Yucatan Channel will shift E of the basin tonight
while high pres across the western Gulf spreads eastward. The
high pres will become centered NE of the area by the end of the
weekend into early next week allowing for return flow to
dominate the basin. The high will weaken by the end of next week
as the next cold front attempts to move into the western Gulf.  

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

A stationary front over the far NW Caribbean will dissipate Sun.
Moderate to fresh trade winds will prevail across the Caribbean
and tropical N Atlantic, with the exception of strong breeze NE
winds N of Colombia. Trades will slowly diminish through Wed
night, then increasing back slightly towards the end of next
week.  

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

A slowing cold front extends from 31N73W through the  central
Bahamas to central Cuba. Fresh to strong southerly winds  ahead
of the front NE of the Bahamas will weaken through tonight.  The
front will reach from near 31N71W to the SE Bahamas Sun 
afternoon where it will stall and gradually dissipate. The 
remnants of the front will linger along 70W through much of the 
upcoming week. NE swell will move into the waters N of the
Virgin  Islands through early next week.
