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 through the Straits of
Florida will linger into Fri. A high pressure ridge across the
eastern Gulf will maintain fresh to strong E to SE winds E of
90W through Thu night. Elsewhere, moderate to fresh SE return
flow will prevail across the basin through this weekend. 

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

A relatively weak pressure gradient will strengthen later this
week as high pressure builds north of the area. Fresh to strong
trades will prevail across the south-central Caribbean. 
Northerly swell over the Tropical N Atlantic waters S of 15N will
subside into Thu. Fresh to occasionally strong winds will pulse 
over the Gulf of Honduras Thu night through Sun night. 

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

A cold front extends from 31N60W to 25N67W to 24N73W, then
becomes stationary and reaches westward through the Straits of
Florida. The entire front will stall over the offshore waters
tonight and remain nearly stationary through Fri. Strengthening 
high pressure will build over the western Atlantic tonight 
through Fri, resulting in fresh to strong E winds and building 
seas over the waters N of 22N. An area of low pressure is 
expected to form N of the Bahamas late Fri or early Sat, and 
potentially develop into a subtropical depression or storm this 
weekend while moving NE over the western Atlantic.
