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 will dominate Gulf waters through much of the
week. With its center over the eastern Gulf, fresh southerly 
winds can be expected over the western Gulf into late week. 

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

Low pressure over the central Caribbean Sea N of Colombia is 
moving quickly west and will cross the western Caribbean through 
the week. Environmental conditions are gradually becoming more  
favorable for tropical development and a tropical depression is 
likely to form during the next couple of days. A surface trough
will move through the Leeward Islands and northeast Caribbean 
through early Tue. Overall, moderate trade winds will prevail.


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

A ridge along roughly 26N will lift north tonight ahead of a 
trough moving westward across the waters south of 25N through mid
week. The ridge will persist along roughly 29N, supporting 
moderate to fresh trade winds north of Hispaniola later in the 
week.
