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...

SE winds will strengthen to strong breeze across the western
Gulf Mon night through Wed night ahead of an intense low
pressure system moving through the southern great plains of the
U.S. Smoke and haze from fires in Mexico will reduce
visibilities over the western Gulf and the Bay of Campeche
during the next several days. 

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

Fresh to locally strong easterly winds will prevail across the
south-central Caribbean and the Gulf of Honduras through Mon.
Smoke and haze from fires in Central America will reduce
visibilities in the Gulf of Honduras during the next several
days.  

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

Cold front is from 31N53W to 25N60W. Stationary front continues
to 24N65W to central Bahamas near 24N74W. Portion of  the
stationary front east of the Bahamas will weaken and dissipate
by tonight. Moderate trade winds are expected across most of the
 region as high pressure remains in place through Mon. An area
of  low pressure could form Mon through Tue along a trough axis 
expected to develop south of Bermuda.
