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...

Hurricane Eta near 26.2N 83.7W 983 mb at 10 AM EST moving NNE at
9 kt. Maximum sustained winds 65 kt gusts 80 kt. Eta will weaken
to a tropical storm near 27.5N 83.4W this evening, move to 28.9N
82.7W Thu morning, approaching the Florida coast. Eta will
continue onshore over north central Florida Thu, then weaken to
a tropical depression near 30.5N 81.3W Thu evening. Eta will
weaken further to a remnant low through Fri as it encounters a
frontal boundary over the Atlantic off Georgia. That cold front
will move into the NW Gulf today and become stationary over the
northern Gulf through Fri night and dissipate through Sat as
high pressure builds over the Lower Mississippi Valley.  

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

Winds and seas are improving over the NW Caribbean today as Eta
moves farther N over the eastern Gulf of Mexico. A tropical wave
is over the eastern Caribbean. Low pressure could form along the
wave with the potential for tropical cyclone development late
this week or this weekend when the wave reaches the central or
western Caribbean Sea.  

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

A tight pressure gradient between strong high pressure over the
western Atlantic and Tropical Storm Eta over the SE Gulf of
Mexico will support fresh to strong E-SE winds through tonight.
These winds will maintain large seas in the  western Atlantic
before gradually subsiding through late Thu  night. The remnant
low of Eta will emerge off northeast Florida Fri, and merge with
a stalling frontal boundary before dissipating through Sun.
