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 weak frontal boundary will remain over the western Gulf along
96W tonight then shift NW and inland as a warm front  into early
Sun. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected near the
front over the NW Gulf through early Sun. Areas of smoke and
haze are possible in the SW Gulf from agricultural fires in
southern Mexico. Fresh southerly return flow will prevail early
next week over much of the basin. A weak cold front will sink
slowly into the NW Gulf Tue evening and reach SE Louisiana to
the W Bay of Campeche Wed night before stalling and weakening. 

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

A weak high pressure ridge extends from the central Atlc W-SW to
the N Bahamas. Fresh E to SE winds will prevail in the Gulf of
Honduras through Sun before increasing to fresh to strong Sun
night through Wed night as the pressure gradient tightens
between the Atlantic ridge and lower pressures over the Central
America. Gentle to moderate winds will continue elsewhere across
the basin through Sun, becoming moderate to fresh across most of
the Caribbean throughout the coming week. 

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

A weakening cold front from 31N65W to 29N74W to  near Palm
Beach, Florida will drift southward tonight across the waters E
of the Bahamas and stall along 28N Sun morning. The  frontal
remnants will then drift N and gradually dissipate late  Sun. S
of the front a weak high pressure ridge extends from the 
central Atlc W-SW into the Bahamas and will persist east of the 
area through Sun. High pressure will reorganize across the W
Atlc Mon and Tue leading to moderate to fresh southerly winds N
of  25N and W of 75W, and moderate to fresh tradewinds S of 24N.
