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 high pressure ridge will generally prevail across E Gulf of
Mexico through Fri night. This will help support generally
quiescent winds and seas through at least Fri night across most
of the Gulf. Fresh to strong NE to E winds will develop this
evening offshore of the Yucatan Peninsula tonight, then diminish
on Tue. A cold front may approach the Texas coast late Fri
night. 

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

The Bermuda High will maintain generally fresh to strong trades
over S-central Caribbean through the week. NE trades off the
coast of Colombia will pulse to gale force tonight. Fresh to
strong NE winds will continue through the Windward Passage and
south of Hispaniola through tonight, then diminish slightly
through midweek. Short-period NE swell across the waters east of
the Leeward Islands will subside gradually by Tue night. Fresh
to locally strong winds will pulse at night in the Gulf of
Honduras Tue night through Fri night.  

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

The Bermuda High will persist across NW waters for  the next few
days. Fresh to strong SW winds will develop east of  Florida
Wed, ahead of a cold front that is expected to move across the N
waters late Wed night through Fri while weakening. The  Bermuda
High will then rebuild over the N waters Fri night.
