000 AGXX40 KNHC 011800 MIMATS Marine Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 200 PM EDT Mon Jul 1 2019 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... Weak high pressure will remain over the region through the week. A trough will develop over the Yucatan Peninsula each afternoon and move offshore to across the Bay of Campeche during the evening hours and into the morning through Thu, bringing fresh to locally strong northeast winds to the area. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue over the western half of the basin and will shift to the northern Gulf by late Tue. This activity may be accompanied by strong gusty winds, possible frequent lightning and at times, rough seas. ...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN 55W AND 64W... The combination of a strong pressure gradient between the Bermuda high and lower than typical pressures over northern Colombia is currently allowing for strong to near gale force winds to pulse each night through mid-week just offshore Colombia. These winds will diminish by daytime hours. This pressure gradient will also enhance the winds over much of the central and SW Caribbean through the remainder of the week, with moderate to fresh trades expected to prevail elsewhere. ...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS... A weak high pressure ridge will remain along 24N through Wed before shifting northward to near 27N by late on Thu. A weak cold front will move across the waters N of 27N tonight into Tue, then stall from near 29N65W to the central Bahamas by early Tue evening. The front will slowly dissipate through Wed night. Ahead of this front, fresh southwest winds are expected over the northeast forecast waters this afternoon and tonight. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are well ahead of the front N of 27N and E of 76W. This activity will gradually shift east- southeastward through early Wed before decreasing as it lifts northward Wed through Fri night with the remnants of the front. $$ .WARNINGS...Any changes impacting coastal NWS offices will be coordinated through AWIPS II Collaboration Chat, or by telephone: .GULF OF MEXICO...
