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...

Winds and higher seas continue to subside across the SW Gulf,
while fresh to strong winds prevail across the SE Gulf behind a
cold front in the NW Caribbean. High pressure will slide quickly
across the region tonight, with strong SE return flow setting up
Wed over the NW Gulf, ahead of a cold front that will enter the
Gulf early Wed night. By Thu night, this front will reach from
the mouth of the Mississippi River to the central Bay of
Campeche, with brief gale conditions likely redeveloping off
Veracruz Thu afternoon through evening. The cold front will move
SE of the Gulf late Sat.  

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

Moderate to fresh trades will continue across much of the basin
through Wed. A cold front over the NW Caribbean this afternoon
extends from central Cuba to the central Gulf of Honduras. This
front will drift SE through Wed morning, then stall and
gradually dissipate through late Thu. Fresh to strong winds and
building seas will prevail NW of this front through Thu morning.
Winds will increase to fresh to strong across central portions
late Wed through Thu as high pres behind the front shifts into
the W Atlc. Looking ahead, another weaker front may enter the
Yucatan Channel by late Sat.  

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

A cold front stretches from 31N69W through the central Bahamas
to central Cuba near 22N79W this afternoon. This  front will
reach from Bermuda to the SE Bahamas and east central  Cuba by
Wed morning, then weaken and drift SE before stalling across the
SE waters late Thu through Fri. Strong NW winds and  building
seas will prevail behind the front, mainly N of 28N and  W of
70W through this evening. Looking ahead, another cold front 
will move off the coast of northeast Florida Sat morning.
