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...

Weak ridge over the eastern Gulf will shift eastward through
tonight ahead of a cold front forecast to move across the NW
Gulf today. The front will reach from the Florida Panhandle to
the coast of Mexico near 24N98W tonight. Fresh to strong winds
are expected in the wake of the front. Gusty winds to minimal
gale force may occur. The front will become stationary before it
lifts back north as a warm front Sun. High pressure from off the
Carolina coast will slide southward early next week setting up
an east to west ridge across the area. Fresh to strong winds
will pulse each evening north and west of the Yucatan Peninsula
through the period due to local effects.  

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

Winds over the basin will gradually increase through the middle
of next week as high pressure rebuilds over the western
Atlantic. Fresh to strong winds will pulse each night beginning
tonight over the Gulf of Honduras and especially along the coast
of Colombia. Long-period northerly swell moving through the
waters around the Leeward Islands will subside early next week. 

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

A stationary front is over the SE waters and extends from 21N65W
to Hispaniola. This front will slowly move eastward  to east of
the Leeward Islands by Mon morning. Gale conditions  are
expected near 30N64W from this afternoon till early Sun as a 
deep low pressure system located N of area drops southeastward 
passing just east of Bermuda Sun morning. North swell generated
by the low will produce very large seas across the waters east
and  northeast of the Bahamas through the weekend. High pressure
will  shift southward over the north-central waters Mon night
into Tue.
