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 nearly stationary front extending from the Straits of Florida
to near 28N92W will weaken Tue into Tue night. High pressure
will build over the NE Gulf Tue and pass southward across the
eastern Gulf through Wed night. A cold front will approach the
northern Gulf Coast Thu, move across the northern Gulf waters 
late Thu night and Fri, then stall and weaken Fri night into Sat.
Southerly winds may strengthen across the eastern Gulf Sat night
as low pressure develops over the SE United States. Elsewhere, 
smoke from agricultural fires in southern Mexico may reduce 
visibilities over the Bay of Campeche. 

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

High pressure will build over the SW N Atlantic waters through
mid-week, which will support fresh to strong winds along the
coast of Colombia and over the Gulf of Venezuela. Fresh winds
will pulse each night over the Gulf of Honduras, possibly
reaching strong speeds by this weekend. A low pressure trough
will linger in the vicinity of the Leeward Islands into Tue.
Long-period northerly swell will continue affecting the waters
east of the Lesser Antilles through Tue night. Another round of
northerly swell will impact these waters Thu night into this
weekend. 

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

Weak low pressure near the Florida Keys, along with a stationary
front over the Straits of Florida, will linger into Tue before 
dissipating Tue night. Lingering northerly swell over the NE 
portion will subside by Tue. High pressure off the SE U.S. coast 
will track SE across the offshore waters through Wed, then 
maintain a ridge across the southern waters through late week. SW
to W winds will strengthen Thu over the northern waters, ahead 
of a cold front that is expected to move across the waters N of 
22N late Thu night through Sat night.
