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...

Scattered strong thunderstorms near the Texas coast are expected
to move into the NW Gulf today. Weak ridging northeast of the 
Gulf will produce gentle winds and placid sea conditions for the 
next several days. Smoke and haze from ongoing agricultural fires
in Mexico could reduce visibilities in the western Gulf and the 
Bay of Campeche. 

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

The pressure gradient between the Bermuda High north of the area
and low pressure over Colombia will support strong easterly winds
across most of the south-central Caribbean and Gulf of Honduras 
today. Winds will diminish and decrease in areal coverage tonight
through early next week as the high pressure shifts eastward and
the pressure gradient weakens. 

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

High pressure extending from a high center southeast of Bermuda 
will support pulses of fresh to strong winds north of Hispaniola
each evening through Sun. A weak cold front will approach the 
northern forecast waters on Mon, then push eastward across the 
west-central Atlantic Tue through Wed night.
