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 squall line consisting of strong to severe thunderstorms 
extends from just west of Pensacola, Florida to 27N91W, moving 
rapidly eastward ahead of a cold front that is along the Texas 
coast. The squall line will continue eastward across the rest of 
the central and northeastern Gulf through tonight attendant by 
strong gusty winds and frequent lightning. The cold front will 
move across the NW and north-central Gulf tonight and become 
stationary through Sun night and weaken to a trough Mon. 
Otherwise, 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 high pressure 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 through Mon, when winds will diminish and decrease in 
areal coverage 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.
