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...

Light to gentle variable wind will dominate the Gulf waters
through Mon night as a weak surface ridge prevails. Moderate to
fresh NE to E winds are expected at night in the eastern half of
the Bay of Campeche and the adjacent Yucatan peninsula waters
associated with a surface trough.  

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

The pressure gradient between weak high pressure over the SW N
Atlantic and the eastward extension of the NE Pacific monsoon
trough to Colombia will support fresh to strong tradewinds
across the central basin through Fri. Strong trades will
increase and expand across central portions over the weekend
with the passage of a pair of tropical waves. Near gale-force
winds are expected along the Colombia coastal waters and the
Gulf of Venezuela Sat and Sun nights. Otherwise, moderate to
fresh easterly winds are expected in the Gulf of Honduras and in
the E Caribbean through Mon night.  

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

A surface trough will linger across the NE waters  through Sat
before gradually shifting east of the offshore waters Sun
through Mon. Elsewhere high pressure on either side of the 
trough will support light to gentle variable winds, except south
 of 23N, where moderate to fresh easterly winds will dominate
the  waters from the Great Bahama Bank to the waters north of 
Hispaniola.
