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 cold front extending across the basin from the big bend of
Florida to Brownsville Texas will weaken and drift southward
today. A ridge will build northeast of the region through mid 
week. A trough over the Yucatan Peninsula will support pulses of
fresh to locally strong winds in the SW Gulf through Thu. 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 gradient between high pressure northeast of the region near 
28N56W and low pressure in Colombia will support fresh to strong
easterly winds in the south-central Caribbean and the Gulf of 
Honduras through Tue. Smoke and haze from ongoing agricultural 
fires could reduce visibilities north of Honduras to Yucatan. 

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

High pressure centered near 27N57W will shift eastward and
weaken through Tue. A weakening cold front will move into the 
northern waters tonight and continue southward through Tue. High
pressure will build north of the region Wed through Thu night.
