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 weak high pressure ridge will persist over the N Gulf this
week, maintaining gentle flow across much of the region with
moderate to fresh winds expected across the eastern Bay of
Campeche. 

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

The Bermuda High north of the area along with the typical
eastward extension of the NE Pacific monsoon trough to Colombia
will contribute toward fresh to strong E trades over the central
Caribbean from today through Fri. Elsewhere winds and seas are
at or below normal. No tropical cyclone formation is expected in
these waters for the next several days.  

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

High seas north of 29N and west of 75W associated  with Tropical
Storm Isaias will shift northward today, allowing  seas to
gradually subside across the northern waters. A surface trough
from 29N65W to 24N71W will move NW across the area waters today
then weaken tonight and Wed. Weak troughing will linger across 
the NE waters through Fri, leading to gentle to moderate winds 
across most of the area waters.
