Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL
455 AM EDT Tue Oct 7 2025

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
more than twice the significant wave height.

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

.SYNOPSIS...Rough seas in N to NE swell over the tropical
Atlantic waters and through the Caribbean Passages will continue
to gradually subside through late Tue. Elsewhere, moderate trade
winds will persist across the south-central Caribbean. Moderate
E to SE winds will pulse to fresh in the Gulf of Honduras
through Tue night. Showers and thunderstorms will remain active
across the northwestern Caribbean through Wed. The area of low
pressure, AL95, located over the tropical central Atlantic is
becoming better defined. The associated shower and thunderstorm
activity is showing signs of organization, and environmental
conditions appear favorable for continued development of this
system. A tropical depression or storm is likely to form in the
next day or so while it moves quickly west-northwestward across
the central tropical Atlantic, and a Gale Warning has been
issued in anticipation of this. This system is expected to be
near or north of the northern Leeward Islands on Thursday and
Friday, and interests there should continue to monitor its
progress. Regardless of development, expect an increase in winds
and seas across the tropical Atlantic waters with this system by
the end of the week.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...Rough seas in N to NE swell across the regional
waters will continue to gradually subside from north to south
over the Atlantic waters through Tue night. Fresh to strong NE
to E winds will prevail north of a stationary front, extending
from the central Atlantic near 28N55W to 24N68W then through the
NW Bahamas and to the SE Florida coast, through late Tue. Winds
will diminish midweek as the front drifts northward and
dissipates. The area of low pressure, AL95, located over the
tropical central Atlantic is becoming better defined. The
associated shower and thunderstorm activity is showing signs of
organization, and environmental conditions appear favorable for
continued development of this system. A tropical depression or
storm is likely to form in the next day or so while it moves
quickly west-northwestward across the central tropical Atlantic,
and a Gale Warning has been issued in anticipation of this. This
system is expected to be near or north of the northern Leeward
Islands on Thursday and Friday, and interests there should
continue to monitor its progress. Regardless of development,
expect an increase in winds and seas across the SE forecast zones
with this system by the end of the week.
