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...

A stationary front extending from Crystal River, Florida to
27N90W to a 1013 mb low over the NW gulf to just south of
Tampico, Mexico generates scattered showers and tstms across the
northern half and SW portions of the basin. Moderate to fresh NE
to E winds N of the front will prevail through early Fri when
the front is forecast to dissipate. Moderate to fresh SW to W
winds S of the front over the NE basin will diminish by this
evening. The remnants of the front will transition to a surface
trough along the coast of NE Mexico on Fri before moving inland.
Otherwise, a surface trough will form and move off the Yucatan
Peninsula into the Bay of Campeche at night accompanied with
fresh to strong winds.  

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

High pressure north of the area will maintain fresh to strong
trade winds in the south-central Caribbean into the weekend,
pulsing to near gale force at night along the coast of Colombia
and over the Gulf of Venezuela. Strong winds will expand
northward towards Hispaniola adjacent waters and the Windward
Passage tonight through Sat morning as high pressure strengthens
and a tropical wave moves across the central basin. Winds in the
northern-central basin will diminish on Sat as the tropical wave
moves over the western Caribbean. 

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

A stationary front to the north of the Bahamas will gradually
weaken and dissipate on Friday. The pressure gradient  between
the frontal boundary and high pressure to the east will  support
moderate to fresh S to SW winds N of 27N through Thu.  Gentle to
moderate SE winds will dominate the remainder waters,  except N
of Hispaniola and the approaches to the Windward Passage  where
fresh to strong winds will pulse at night.
