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 dominate the Gulf waters during the entire
period. Gentle to moderate easterly winds and slight seas are
expected through Sun. Moderate to fresh southerly winds are
forecast over the western Gulf Sun night through Wed night as
the pressure gradient tightens between the ridge and deepening
low pressure over Mexico. Locally strong winds are expected over
the SW basin during this period.  

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

Fresh to strong trades over the south-central Caribbean will
expand to the north-central and southwest basin tonight through
the middle of the week as high pressure builds over the western
Atlantic. Winds will pulse to near gale force near the coast of
Colombia each night through Wed night. Seas are forecast to
build to 13 ft with the strongest winds.  

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

High pressure anchored near the Azores Islands will  extend a
ridge axis across the offshore waters through the middle of the
week. Fresh to occasionally strong easterly winds will  pulse
north of Hispaniola at night through Wed.
