Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from 31N47W to just N of
Haiti will merge with a reinforcing cold front that stretches
from 31N51W to 27N75W. The merged front will move across the SE
waters through Mon when it is forecast to stall along 22N/23N.
Fresh to strong W to NW winds and rough to very rough seas will
follow the front N of 29N. These marine conditions will gradually
shift eastward on Mon. A trough or low pressure will develop
near the Turks and Caicos Islands early on Tue. The pressure
gradient between the trough and high pressure to the W will
support fresh to strong winds and moderate to rough seas across
the waters S of 25N and W of the trough axis to the coast of
eastern Cuba, including the SE Bahamas. Then, the trough/low will
stall in the SE Bahamas offshore waters trough Wed, with winds
and seas diminishing. The next cold front will enter the NE
Florida offshore waters Tue night before stalling and lifting N
of the area late Wed. A stronger cold front is forecast to move
to the NE Florida offshore waters Thu night into Fri. Fresh to
strong winds and building seas are expected on either side of the
front.
