Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. Synopsis for Caribbean Sea and Tropical N Atlantic from 07N to 19N W of 55W .SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from eastern Cuba to just west of Jamaica and to near the border between Nicaragua and Costa Rica will stall tonight, then weaken and dissipate during the weekend. Fresh to locally strong N winds are behind the front with seas to 8 ft. These conditions will gradually diminish through Sun. A tightening pressure gradient between developing low pressure in the southwestern Caribbean and high pressure building over the southeastern United States will promote fresh NE winds in the Atlantic Passages and in the lee of Cuba on Sat, and moderate to fresh NE to E winds and moderate seas in E swell will develop across much of the basin Sun into the middle of next week. A weak surface trough from 17N70W to 12N72W is producing scattered showers and thunderstorms. This feature is forecast to possibly reach the western Caribbean by Sun and stall into next week.
