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 warm front extends from weak low pressure off the coast of 
Brownsville, Texas across the NW Gulf, then transitions to a 
stationary front from the north-central Gulf to the Florida 
Panhandle. This frontal system will lift northward and move 
inland along the Gulf Coast later today into tonight. Atlantic 
high pressure extending westward across central Florida into the 
eastern Gulf will change little through Thu night. Fresh to 
locally strong NE to E winds will develop each evening offshore 
of the Yucatan Peninsula, then diminish overnight.

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

A high pressure ridge north of the area will maintain fresh to 
strong winds over the south-central Caribbean for the next 
several days. Winds will pulse to gale force speeds offshore of 
the coast of Colombia tonight. Fresh to strong winds will 
continue through the Windward Passage and south of Hispaniola 
through Mon night, then diminish slightly through midweek. NE 
swell across the waters east of the Leeward Islands will subside
by Tue. Fresh to locally strong winds may pulse at night in the 
Gulf of Honduras Tue night through Thu night.

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

A cold front off the southeastern U.S. coast will move southward
today, then stall just north of the forecast waters tonight 
before lifting northward as a warm front early Mon. A high 
pressure ridge will prevail across the northern waters for the 
next several days. Fresh SW flow will develop over the northern 
waters Wed and Wed night, ahead of another cold front that may 
move across the northern waters Thu and Thu night.
