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

.SYNOPSIS...A strong pressure gradient from the Bermuda High to
the Colombian Low will continue to produce fresh to strong
trades across the Caribbean through Sat morning with near gales
just north of Colombia. From Sat through early next week, the
Bermuda High weakens leading toward reduced winds. However,
strong trades will still continue north of Colombia, south of
Hispaniola and over the Gulf of Honduras on Sat and Sun. Looking
ahead to Mon, as the weakened Bermuda High shifts eastward,
trades across the Caribbean will be reduced to only moderate to
fresh.
