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...

High pressure anchored NE of the area will maintain return flow
across the basin through early next week. Fresh to strong NE to 
E winds will occur at night in the SW Gulf through early Sun 
associated with a surface trough moving off the Yucatan 
Peninsula. On Sun, the pressure gradient over the region will
diminish, thus resulting in mainly moderate to locally fresh
winds continuing through the middle of the week. Otherwise, smoke
from fires in southern Mexico will maintain hazy skies generally
within 90 nm of the eastern coast of Mexico the next few days.

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

The gradient of pressure between a generally prevalent ridge N 
of the area and lower pressure along Central America will support
moderate to locally fresh trades across the basin. Broad low 
pressure across Central America and adjacent eastern Pacific 
waters will continue to generate heavy showers and tstms over 
the SW Caribbean through the middle of the week. These showers
will extend to the NW Caribbean waters on Tue as a developing low
off the coast of Nicaragua tracks northwestward. Otherwise, a 
tropical wave will move across the Lesser Antilles Monday
evening.

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

The tail of a cold front stalled early this morning just north of
a surface trough that extends from 24N65W to SW Haiti. The
stationary front that extends from 25N65W to 25N70W to the
central Bahamas near 23N75W will continue to weaken today and
dissipate during the evening hours along with the surface trough.
A new cold front will sink southward into the NE waters Sat 
afternoon and stall along 23N Sun evening before dissipating Mon
evening. Seas to 10 ft associated with this front will affect the
NE waters Sun through Mon. Otherwise, moderate to fresh NE winds
will dominate the waters NE of the Bahamas.
