NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL
449 PM EDT Thu Oct 31 2024

Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast for the Tropical N Atlantic
from 07N to 19N W of 55W, the N Atlantic from 19N to
31N W of 55W including the Bahamas, and the Caribbean Sea.

Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average
height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be

Synopsis for Caribbean Sea and Tropical N Atlantic from
07N to 19N W of 55W

.SYNOPSIS....A broad area of low pressure is likely to develop
over the southwestern Caribbean Sea during the next day or two.
Gradual development is possible thereafter, and a tropical
depression could form over the weekend or early next week while
the system drifts generally northward or northwestward over the
central or western Caribbean Sea. Meanwhile, high pressure
present N of the area will continue to support fresh to strong
NE to E winds in the lee of Cuba, the Windward Passage, and
south of Hispaniola, including the Mona Passage, into the
upcoming weekend. Large N to NE long period swell will begin to
reach the NE Caribbean passages starting Thu. The swell is
expected to subside late on Sat. Active weather will impact the
majority of the basin into the weekend. Marine interests over
these waters should take the necessary action to avoid hazardous
marine conditions. Please monitor the latest forecasts and
Tropical Weather Outlooks.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...A very tight pressure gradient associated to high
pressure centered N of Bermuda controls the wind regime
throughout. This pattern will continue to support strong winds
and rough to very rough seas over the Western Atlantic through
the next few days. Peak seas of 13 to 16 ft are expected E of
the Bahamas through Sun, perhaps subsiding some early next week.
Active weather that is over the waters S of about 25N and E of
the Bahamas is likely to be further enhanced if a trough near
Puerto Rico slowly develops going into the weekend as it moves
west northwestward near the Greater Antilles. The present ongoing
strong to near gale force E winds over these same waters may
reach gale force Fri night and into the upcoming weekend due to a
tightening of the pressure gradient between the trough, or the
developed system and the high pressure to the N. Marine interests
over these waters should take the necessary action to avoid
hazardous marine conditions. Please monitor the latest forecasts
and Tropical Weather Outlooks.
