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...

Strong SE to S winds and building seas are expected across the
western Gulf today and tonight. Fresh to strong easterly winds
near the west coast of Yucatan Peninsula are possible each night
as a trough moves W from land. Smoke and haze from fires across
southern 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 Thursday
night, then winds in these areas will decrease Fri and Fri
night. Moderate to fresh trades will prevail across the Tropical
North Atlantic through Fri night. 

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

A surface trough extends from 30N68W to low pressure 1015 mb 
currently centered near 26.5N68.5W to 21N70W. The low could 
develop into a short-lived subtropical or tropical cyclone by 
tonight or Tuesday as it moves N to NE. Otherwise, moderate winds
will generally prevail across the region through Fri night. A 
cold front will enter the northern waters Wed, then weaken as it 
reaches the northern Bahamas Thu,
