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 Gulf through midweek.
Gentle to moderate winds and slight seas will prevail across 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 78W will cross 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 
increase Tue into Wed 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 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 through Sun night.
