accompany this trough. The remainder of the Gulf waters will
remain under the influence of a ridge through the forecast

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

A ridge north of the area will support fresh to strong winds in
the south-central Caribbean through Mon night. Strongest winds
will be near the coast of Colombia each night. Fresh to strong
winds will persist over the Windward Passage and south of
Hispaniola through Sun.  

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

Strengthening high pressure over the west-central Atlantic will 
increase winds and seas mainly S of 25N through tonight. A weak 
cold front drifting SE from the coast of Georgia this weekend
