from 07N to 19N W of 55W, the N Atlantic from 19N to
31N W of 55W including the Bahamas, and the Caribbean Sea.

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

.SYNOPSIS...A weak pressure gradient across the Caribbean Sea
will support moderate to fresh winds and moderate seas across
the E and central Caribbean, and light to gentle winds and
slight to moderate seas across the NW and SW portions of the
basin through at least Sat. Looking ahead, a broad area of low
pressure could form late this weekend or early next week over
the northwestern Caribbean Sea. Thereafter, some slow
development of this system is possible through the middle of
next week while it moves slowly to the north or northwest over
the northwestern Caribbean Sea or the southeastern Gulf of
Mexico. There is a low chance of tropical cyclone formation in
the next seven days.
