Overall high pressure will dominate gulf waters, supporting gentle to moderate winds through the week. Surface troughs will develop during the afternoons on the Yucatan Peninsula and generate fresh to at times strong winds during the overnights they move west over the Bay of Campeche, especially early in the week. Weak surface troughs will also develop over the Florida Peninsula and move off into the eastern Gulf of Mexico, bringing some showers and thunderstorms during the overnights. ...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN 55W AND 64W... Pressure gradient between high pressure to the north and lower pressure over the SW Caribbean will support fresh to strong winds over the south-central Caribbean today. This gradient will relax as a part of tropical waves cross through mid-week, leading to lower wind speeds until late week, when the gradient will restrengthen in the wake of the tropical waves. The first aforementioned wave will impact the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico today and Tuesday, bringing fresh to possibly strong winds to the region along with numerous showers and thunderstorms. Another wave on its heels may bring similar conditions Wednesday into Thursday. ...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS... Low pressure tough over the far northwest waters will gradually dissipate today and Tuesday. A tropical wave will bring showers and thunderstorms to waters near Puerto Rico as well as fresh to possibly strong winds from this afternoon through Tuesday. This wave will then move north of Hispaniola and into the Turks and Caicos Islands Wednesday and Thursday, bringing fresh to strong winds as well as showers and thunderstorms, before the feature enters the Bahamas and off the east coast of Florida by the end of the week. Elsewhere, gentle breezes will prevail. $$ .WARNINGS...Any changes impacting coastal NWS offices will be coordinated through AWIPS II Collaboration Chat, or by telephone: .GULF OF MEXICO...
