Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to locally strong E winds and rough seas
occurring north of a shear line, located along 21N to the north
of the Greater Antilles, will diminish by tonight into Sat
morning. A trough of low pressure located just N of the
Dominican Republic continues to produce disorganized showers and
thunderstorms. Some gradual development of this system is
possible during the next couple of days while it moves westward
toward the Bahamas. Looking ahead, another strong cold front will
move southward into the forecast waters on Sat, leading to
widespread fresh to strong NE to E winds and rough to very rough
seas in N swell north of the Greater Antilles through this
weekend. The N swell will continue to progress southeastward
early next week. Elsewhere, moderate to locally fresh E trades
and moderate to rough seas will occur east of the Windward
Islands through the forecast period.
