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 cold front has entered the northern Gulf, and will continue
moving SE across the basin while weakening. High pressure will
build in the wake of the front. Fresh southerly return flow will
set up over the western Gulf tonight through Tue night ahead of
the next cold front forecast to reach the northern Gulf late on
Wed, then stall and lift northward Thu. Looking ahead, a third
and stronger cold front is expected to move across the Gulf
waters over the weekend.  

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

Building high pressure north of the area will bring an increase 
in winds and seas across the south-central Caribbean late Tue 
through Thu. Fresh to strong NE winds are expected across the 
Windward passage and south-central Caribbean Tue night through 
Thu night. 

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

A persistent surface trough extends from the Turks and Caicos 
Islands toward Bermuda, producing disorganized showers and 
thunderstorms. This disturbance is expected to move northeastward,
and there is a slight chance that it could acquire some subtropical
characteristics before it merges with a cold front on Tuesday. 
The front will progress eastward across the NW waters today 
through Wednesday while gradually weakens into Thu.
