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 weak cold front extends from Fort Myers, Florida to 24N89W and
to just south of Tampico, Mexico. The front will slowly move 
southward across the western Gulf while moving SE across the 
eastern Gulf tonight, then exit the area on Mon morning. Another 
cold front will move into the northern Gulf Wed afternoon, reach 
from the Florida Big Bend to near 25N90W and to near northeastern
Mexico early Thu. The western part of the front will become 
stationary and weaken through late Thu night, while the rest of 
the front will weaken as it exits the SE Gulf Fri. Weak high 
pressure will build across the area in the wake of this front. 

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

High pressure extending from the central Atlantic to the NW
Bahamas will maintain fresh to strong trade winds over the
south-central Caribbean through Tue before weakening. Strong
east to southeast winds will pulse at night over the Gulf of
Honduras this weekend. A weak cold front will sink across W Cuba
and the Yucatan Channel Mon through Mon night before dissipating
Tue. Northerly subsiding sell will propagate through the 
Tropical N Atlantic through Mon. 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 weak cold front extends from 31N77W to Vero Beach, Florida, 
while a trough extends from near 30N75W to Palm Beach, Florida. 
Numerous strong to severe thunderstorms, with strong gusty winds 
and reduced visibilities, are over the waters from 25N to 30N and
west of 69W. This activity will continue to quickly track 
northeastward into Mon. The front will reach from near 31N77W to 
Palm Beach this evening, then from near 31N70W to coast of NW 
Cuba Mon morning, before stalling and dissipating from 28N65W to 
Cuba along 80W Tue morning. High pressure behind the front will 
slide eastward along 31N. Yet another cold front will move off 
the southeastern U.S. coast and to the NW forecast waters Wed 
night into Thu preceded by fresh to strong southerly winds. This 
front is expected to reach from near 31N76W to east-central 
Florida Thu afternoon, and weaken as it reaches from near 31N69W 
to 25N73W and to eastern Cuba by late Fri.
