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 centered over the NE Gulf will maintain a ridge
across the northern waters this week, resulting in gentle to
moderate winds with slight seas across much of the area. Fresh
to locally strong winds are expected each evening for the next
several nights in the eastern Bay of Campeche near the Yucatan
peninsula due to local effects.  

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

Fresh to strong trade winds will prevail across the
south-central Caribbean waters through Fri night, with near
gale- force winds expected to pulse near the coast of Colombia
and in the Gulf of Venezuela for the next couple nights. Fresh
winds will pulse for the next several nights through the
Windward Passage. Winds and seas will increase over the Tropical
N Atlantic waters tonight and Wed as a tropical wave crosses the
region. A low pressure system, possibly a tropical cyclone,
could increase winds and seas over the waters E of the Leeward
Islands Fri through early Sat as it moves W-NW across the 
tropical Atlantic waters. 

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

A weak low pressure trough well offshore of the NW Bahamas will
dissipate later today or tonight. Fresh winds will  pulse each
night near the coast of Hispaniola and over the  approach to the
Windward Passage. Winds and seas will increase E of 65W tonight
and Wed as a tropical wave crosses the region. A low pressure 
system, possibly a tropical cyclone, could increase winds and 
seas E of 65W Fri night through Sun night as it moves W-NW 
across the tropical Atlantic waters.
