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 in the NE Gulf will drift northward through Fri
ahead of a surface trough moving across Florida into the
southeast Gulf. Gentle to moderate winds and slight seas are
expected across the region, except for locally fresh winds near
the coast of the Yucatan peninsula due to local effects.  

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

High pressure north of the area and a series of tropical waves
moving through the basin will maintain fresh to strong trade
winds over the south central Caribbean, and gentle to moderate
trade winds elsewhere.  

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

A trough over the Bahamas will move west of the area through
Fri, as a surface ridge builds north of the area. This pattern
will support pulses of fresh to strong trade winds off
Hispaniola and near the entrances to the Windward Passage over
the next couple of nights.
