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 will push into the northern Gulf through tonight, 
then stall and weaken along 24N on Wed. Fresh east to southeast
winds will prevail across the region Thu and Fri. Another cold 
front will enter the NW Gulf on Sat, with near gale force NW
winds possible near Veracruz Sat night. 

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

Strong high pressure will build north of the area through Fri, 
resulting in strong trade winds and building seas across the 
entire region. Gale force winds are expected near the coast of 
Colombia Thu night through Sat night. 

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

High pressure across the northern waters will shift eastward
today ahead of a cold front moving off the SE U.S. coast. The
front will extend from 31N70W to southern Florida on Wed, and
become stationary on Thu. Strong high pressure building north of
30N Wed night through Fri night will produce a large area of 
strong winds and building seas across the entire region, with
highest winds and seas expected east of the Bahamas Thu and Fri.
