000 AGXX40 KNHC 101919 MIMATS Marine Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 319 PM EDT Fri Jul 10 2020 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 Florida. The trough will lift northeastward 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 across much of the region for the next several days. ...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN 55W AND 64W... A tropical wave near 76W will move across the rest of the central Caribbean tonight and across the western Caribbean through late Sun. Behind this wave, strong trade winds over the south-central Caribbean will pulse to near gale-force speeds tonight near the coast of Colombia and in the Gulf of Venezuela. Winds and seas will briefly diminish Sun through Mon, then begin to increase on Tue as another tropical wave crosses the region. Elsewhere, moderate to fresh trade winds will persist across much of the area through this weekend. ...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS... Southerly winds will strengthen over the waters north of 27N and west of 70W this weekend, as the pressure gradient tightens between a Bermuda high pressure ridge extending to the central Bahamas and a low pressure trough over Florida. 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 continue south of the ridge, with locally strong winds pulsing north of Hispaniola each evening. $$ .WARNINGS...Any changes impacting coastal NWS offices will be coordinated through AWIPS II Collaboration Chat, or by telephone: .GULF OF MEXICO...
