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 this 
weekend as a low pressure trough develops over the SE United 
States. The trough will lift NE early next week, which will allow
high pressure to rebuild across the eastern and central Gulf. 
Expect gentle to moderate winds and slight seas to prevail 
through the next several days. 

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

Fresh trade winds will persist across much of the Caribbean 
through Sat, with strong winds over the south-central waters 
expected to pulse to near gale-force speeds near the coast of 
Colombia and in the Gulf of Venezuela. Winds and seas over the 
south-central Caribbean will briefly diminish Sun and Mon, then 
increase again by midweek in the wake of a tropical wave crossing
the region. Elsewhere, a tropical wave near 85W that is 
accompanied by scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue 
moving across Central America through Fri. 

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

Southerly winds will strengthen over the waters N of 27N and W 
of 70W this weekend, as the pressure gradient tightens between a 
Bermuda high pressure ridge extending to the central Bahamas and 
low pressure troughing over the SE United States. Winds and seas 
will diminish early next week as the trough weakens and high 
pressure builds across the northern waters. Elsewhere, moderate 
to fresh trade winds will prevail south of the ridge, with 
locally strong winds pulsing north of Hispaniola each evening.
