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 build across the Gulf in the wake of a cold
front, providing return gentle to moderate winds through Wed. A 
new cold front will come off the Texas coast late Wed with fresh
to strong N to NE winds behind it over the western Gulf. The 
front will extend from the Florida Peninsula to the Yucatan
Peninsula Thu, then move SE of the basin Fri morning.

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

Moderate to fresh trades will prevail over the eastern half of
the basin through Tue with strong winds pulsing off the coast of
Colombia tonight. Moderate trades will dominate the central and 
eastern waters through Fri, then winds will increase to moderate
to fresh. A stationary front in the far NW Caribbean will
gradually dissipate through tonight. The next front may approach
the Yucatan Channel Thu night.

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

High pressure will slide east of the area as a cold front,
located early this morning from E of Bermuda through the SE
Bahamas and central Cuba, weakens and continues moving E. A
secondary cold front will move into the area later today,
bringing some strong NW winds N of 28N this afternoon into Wed
night. Another cold front will move off NE Florida Thu night,
bringing strong to near gale force winds on both sides of it
through Sat.
