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...

High pressure extending south-southwest from the eastern U.S. to
the eastern and central Gulf will shift eastward through Wed
ahead of an approaching cold front. This cold front will move
into the NW Gulf Wed afternoon, reach from New Orleans to near
26N93W and to northeastern Mexico Wed evening, and from the
Florida Big region to near 25N89W and to the SW Gulf Thu
morning. The front will weaken as it reaches from SW Florida to
near 23.5N90W to western Bay of Campeche Fri morning, then reach
from NW Cuba to just offshore of the Yucatan Peninsula Sat
morning. A squall line with strong to possibly severe
thunderstorms is likely to precede this front across the NW Gulf
and portions of the north-central Gulf early on Wed. High
pressure will settle into the NE Gulf behind the front Fri night
through Sun.  

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

High pressure moving over the NW Atlc will shift NE through Fri,
allowing for diminished tradewinds across the E and central
Caribbean Thu through Sat. Smoke from agricultural fires in
Central America is reducing visibility over the western Gulf of
Honduras. Some improvement of these conditions may occur by the
end of the week.  

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

A weak cold front extends from 26N65W through the central
Bahamas to W central Cuba along 80W will become stationary and
dissipate on Wed. Another cold front will move off the 
southeastern U.S. coast and into the NW forecast waters Thu 
evening preceded by fresh to strong southerly winds beginning
Wed  evening. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will also
precede  this front. The front will reach from near 31N74W to
the Florida  Keys Florida Fri morning, and weaken as it reaches
from 31N68W to  the central Bahamas to central Cuba Sat morning.
The front will  become weakening stationary from near 27N65W to
the SE Bahamas and to eastern Cuba Sun.
