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...

Thunderstorms associated with a squall line in the NE Gulf will 
produce strong gusty winds and frequent lightning. A weak cold 
front in the NW Gulf will become stationary toight and weaken to
a trough Mon. Weak ridging northeast of the region 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 in the south-central Caribbean and Gulf of Honduras 
through Mon. Winds will diminish and decrease in coverage Tue 
and Wed as the high shifts eastward and the gradient weakens. 

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

High pressure centered near 27N57W will shift eastward and weaken
through Mon. A weak cold front will approach northern forecast 
waters on Mon, then push eastward into the west-central Atlantic
Tue through Wed night.
