Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL
944 PM EDT Thu Aug 21 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...Fresh to strong trades and moderate seas, locally
rough, will exist over the central Caribbean through the next
several days as a strengthening pressure gradient develops
between low pressure over Colombia and building high pressure in
the wake of Hurricane Erin in the west Atlantic. Fresh to strong
east to southeast winds will pulse near the Gulf of Honduras at
night. Moderate to fresh trades will pulse in the eastern
Caribbean and across the approach to the Windward Passage with
moderate or weaker winds elsewhere. An area of disorganized
showers and thunderstorms associated with a tropical wave is
located a few hundred nautical miles east of the Leeward
Islands. Environmental conditions appear conducive for further
development of this system, and a tropical depression is likely
to form this weekend while it moves near or to the north of the
northern Leeward Islands.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...Hurricane Erin is centered N of the area and
continues to move NNE away from the region. Despite its
distance, long period northerly swells generated by Erin will
continue to affect the W Atlantic waters through the next few
days. In the wake of Erin, central Atlantic high pressure will
build WSW toward the central Bahamas and the Straits of Florida.
An area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms associated with
a tropical wave is located a few hundred nautical miles east of
the Leeward Islands. Environmental conditions appear conducive
for further development of this system, and a tropical depression
is likely to form this weekend while it moves near or to the
north of the northern Leeward Islands. Regardless of development,
increasing winds and building seas will accompany the feature
across portions of the zones east of 70W.
