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 stalling front extends from the Florida Big Bend region to
near 26N90W will lift northward as a warm front through this
morning. Strong thunderstorms ahead of the front may produce
gusty winds and locally higher seas over the E Gulf today. A
reinforcing cold front is entering the NW Gulf early this
morning, and will cross the northern Gulf today and tonight,
then reach from near Tampa, Florida into the SW Gulf on Sun.
This front will move SE and into the NW Caribbean on Mon as a
high pressure ridge passes eastward across the Gulf early next
week. Another cold front will move into the northern Gulf Wed
night. 

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

High pressure extending from the central Atlantic t the NW
Bahamas will maintain fresh to strong trade winds over the
south-central Caribbean through Tue before weakening. Strong E
to SE winds will pulse at night over the Gulf of Honduras this
weekend. Northerly swell will propagate through the Tropical N
Atlantic waters this weekend. Smoke from agricultural fires in
Central America could reduce visibility over the Gulf of
Honduras for the next several days.  

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

A cold front moving off the SE U.S. coast early this morning
tonight will stall near 31N and lift northward as a warm  front
on Sat. Fresh to strong S to SW winds over the far northern 
waters will diminish tonight. Strong thunderstorms ahead of the 
front may produce gusty winds and locally higher seas offshore
of  Florida into early Sat. Another cold front will move off the
SE  U.S. coast Sun night and cross the offshore waters N of 22N
Mon  through Tue night. The front is expected to stall across
the central Bahamas Wed as high pressure slides eastward roughly
