and Tropical North Atlantic from 07N to 19N between 55W and 64W
and the Southwest North Atlantic including the Bahamas

...GULF OF MEXICO...

A ridge will dominate the Gulf waters through early Fri. Fresh
to strong winds currently over the eastern Gulf will diminish
tonight into early Tue, with return flow dominating across the
basin under the ridging through Fri. A cold front will drop into
the northern Gulf Fri, stalling out and then retreating
northward into the weekend.  

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

A stationary front extending across Puerto Rico will move back
NW as a warm front Tue. Strong to near gale force winds, except
minimal gale force near the approach to the Windward Passage,
and large seas will linger through late tonight before
conditions start to improve. Strong winds will prevail across
the S-central Caribbean through the forecast period, pulsing to
minimal gale force tonight into early Tue. A weaker pressure
pattern will prevail for the remainder of the week,
strengthening again in the S-central Caribbean Sat.  

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

A stationary front extending across Puerto Rico will move back
NW as a warm front Tue. Strong winds and high seas in  large NW
to N swell behind the front across the basin will  prevail
through Tue before conditions start to improve toward the 
middle of the week. Weak high pressure and moderate to fresh 
tradewinds will prevail Thu, with gentle to moderate winds Fri
as  the ridge retreats. A cold front may drop SE into the NW
waters  Fri night into Sat, weakening and dissipating through
Sat night.
