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...

A ridge will dominate the Gulf waters through late Wed
maintaining gentle to moderate winds and slight seas with the
exception of moderate to locally fresh winds near the W coast of
the Yucatan peninsula due to local effects. Looking ahead, the
ridge will shift north starting mid week, ahead of a trough that
will move westward across Florida and into the southeast Gulf.  

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

A nearly stationary Atlantic ridge extending to the northern
Caribbean waters will maintain fresh to strong winds in the
south-central basin and portions of the SW Caribbean through the
weekend. Near gale force winds are expected along the coast of
Colombia through Wed night along with fresh to strong winds in
the Windward Passage and Gulf of Honduras. 

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

A trough north of the Bahamas will persist through mid week,
then shift west as high pressure builds north the region. This
pattern will maintain moderate to fresh trade winds near the
Windward Passage through late in the week.
