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...

The gradient between a ridge across the northern Gulf and lower
pressures in northern Texas will support strong SE to S winds
and building seas over the western Gulf Mon night through Thu
night. Smoke and haze from fires in Mexico will reduce
visibilities over the western Gulf and the Bay of Campeche the
next several days.  

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

Fresh to occasionally strong trades are expected across most of
the central Caribbean and the Gulf of Honduras through Thu
night. Smoke and haze from fires in Central America will reduce
visibilities in the Gulf of Honduras the next few days. Moderate
to fresh trades are forecast for the Tropical N Atlc the next
few days. 

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

A surface trough curves NE from just N of Hispaniola near 21N72W
to 24N69W to 26N65W. The trough is expected to lift slowly N
during the next couple of days. An area of low pressure is 
expected to form within this trough several hundred miles SW of 
Bermuda Mon. The low pressure system has a medium chance of 
becoming a tropical or subtropical cyclone by Wed as it moves 
northward or northeastward. Otherwise, moderate winds are 
generally expected across most of the region the next few days.
