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 through Sat night. 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...

A surface trough NE of the southern Bahamas will move NW across
the area today then weaken tonight and Wed. Moderate to locally
fresh easterly winds are expected across the Great Bahama Bank
and N of Hispaniola through the weekend.
