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 over the central Gulf will shift westward through
Sun as a trough develops over Florida. The trough will lift to
the northeast through the early part of next week. This pattern
will maintain generally moderate winds and slight seas through
the forecast period. 

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

The gradient between high pressure centered north of the area
and lower pressure toward the equator will continue to produce
fresh tradewinds across much of the Caribbean through the
weekend, with strong to even near gale conditions north of
Colombia and Venezuela. Showers and thunderstorms accompany a
tropical wave over the western Caribbean moving into Central
America. Winds and seas over the south central Caribbean will
diminish slightly Sun and Mon as another strong tropical wave
moves through the region, but will increase again by mid week in
the wake of the tropical wave. 

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

A surface ridge extends from high pressure east of Bermuda
through the central Bahamas. Moderate southerly winds are noted
north of the Bahamas between the ridge and a surface trough
approaching from the west over the southeast US. These winds
will increase Sat and Sun as the trough moves into Florida, but
will  diminish into mid week as the trough weakens and lifts to
the  northeast and the ridge builds along roughly 30N. Moderate
to fresh trade winds will persist south of the ridge, mainly
south of 22N.
