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...

Surface ridging will remain over the central Gulf through mid
week. The tail end of a cold front will cross the NE gulf Wed
afternoon to pass E of the area by Thu. Thermal troughs moving W
from the Yucatan Peninsula will support fresh to locally strong
winds on the Bay of Campeche each evening through Thu night.
Smoke from agricultural fires in southern Mexico may cause haze
and reduced visibilities over the SW Gulf for the next several
days.  

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

Surface ridging over the western Atlc will maintain fresh to
strong trade winds over the S central Caribbean, and moderate to
fresh winds over the remainder of the basin through Thu night,
except for the NW Caribbean, where gentle to moderate winds are
expected. Smoke from agricultural fires in Central America may
cause haze and reduced visibilities over the Gulf of Honduras
and near the Yucatan Peninsula.  

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

A cold front extending from 24N65W to 23N70W is stalling and 
will dissipate by Mon night. The next cold front will enter the 
NW waters Wed night and move SE to extend from 30N68W to the 
coast of Cuba near 22N78W Thu evening.
