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 cold front from the Florida Big Bend area to the Bay of
Campeche will stall from the Straits of Florida to a weak low
pressure near Tampico Mexico by Tue afternoon. The low and
accompanying front should dissipate Wed. On Wed and Thu, fresh
to strong SE to S return flow should set up over most of the
Gulf. A stronger cold front will move off the Texas coast Thu
night,  should reach from the Florida Panhandle to the Bay of
Campeche by Fri afternoon, and move south and east of the Gulf
by Sat afternoon. 

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

The Bermuda High north of the area is supporting fresh to strong
NE to E trades over most of the central Caribbean. Winds will
diminish some late Tue through Sat night as the Bermuda High
shifts eastward and weakens. On Sat, a strong cold front should
reach the NW Caribbean. Meanwhile, long-period N swell is
propagating through the Atlantic passages and the tropical
Atlantic waters off the Leeward and Windward Islands. This large
N swell will diminish by Wed.  

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

A ridge from the Bermuda High that extends across the forecast
waters will shift east of the area by Tue. This evening  a cold
front will move off the NE Florida coast. The front will  move
southeastward, reaching from near Bermuda to the central 
Bahamas on Wed. The front will stall and weaken along roughly
25N  on Thu, and then dissipate Fri. A stronger cold front
should move off the northeast Florida coast by late Fri and
reach the NW  Bahamas by Sat.
