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 nearly stationary front is noted from near Cedar Key, Florida,
to 25N92W, to just S of Veracruz, Mexico. Strong to near gale
force winds are occurring N of this boundary along the Mexican
coast. This front will remain nearly stationary into mid week,
before reinforcing cool and dry air pushes the front into the 
far SE Gulf Wed into Thu. 

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

High pressure is dominant over the northern part of the basin.
Fresh to strong SE winds will persist north of central Honduras
into tonight, between the ridge and lower pressure over the 
southwest Gulf of Mexico. The high will shift east ahead of a 
weak front moving through the Gulf allowing trade winds to 
increase over mainly the south central Caribbean early this 
week.

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

A stationary front resides from 31N70W to near Saint Augustine,
Florida. This front will remain nearly in place into mid week, as
high pressure dominates the SE Part of the basin. Looking ahead,
as the ridge shifts east by Wed, a slightly strong frontal
boundary will move off the SE U.S. coast by Thu.
