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...

Fresh to strong winds are over the NW Gulf behind a cold front
that extends from southern Alabama SW to a 1011 mb low in the
Bay of Campeche. Winds and seas will gradually diminish today as
the front weakens. By tonight, this front will stretch from the
Florida Panhandle to the west coast of the Yucatan Peninsula.
The front will slow on Saturday, then strengthen and accelerate
Sunday as high pressure surges into the Gulf. By Mon morning,
the front will stretch from the Florida Straits to the northern
Yucatan peninsula.  

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

Fresh to near gale force easterly winds will prevail across the
eastern, central and southwest Caribbean as strong high pressure
north of the area shifts east through the weekend. Winds will
decrease to mainly moderate to fresh early on Mon, except strong
winds will pulse nightly off the N coast of Colombia. Otherwise,
fresh to strong SE winds in the NW Caribbean will diminish Sat
morning.  

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

High pressure will prevail over the region through  the weekend.
Fresh to strong trades to the S of this high will  impact areas
just north of the Greater Antilles through Sat night, then
gradually diminish through Tue. Strong S to SW winds will 
develop off the N coast of Florida this Sat night, ahead of a 
cold front that will move off the coast Sun. This front will
extend from Bermuda through the southern Bahamas by Tue morning.
