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

.SYNOPSIS...A moderate pressure gradient between weak high
pressure centered north of the Greater Antilles and lower
pressures in northern South America will sustain moderate to
fresh easterly trade winds and moderate seas over the central
and eastern Caribbean through the middle of next week. Moderate
or lighter winds and slight to moderate seas will prevail
elsewhere. A persistent E-NE swell will support rough seas in
the Atlantic passages of the Lesser Antilles through the
forecast period. Looking ahead, a cold front may approach the
northwestern Caribbean early next week.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...A frontal trough extending from just SE of Bermuda
to 26N70W is expected to move eastward across the central
Atlantic today through Sat, leading to fresh winds and rough seas
north of 27N and east of 65W through tonight. Meanwhile, fresh
to locally strong SW winds and moderate seas will develop off NE
Florida today ahead of the next cold front that will enter the
area tonight. These winds and seas will push quickly eastward Sat
into Sat night. The front will extend from near Bermuda to
central Florida Sun morning and dissipate Sun night. Looking
ahead, a complex low pressure system and strong cold front will
move through the northwestern tropical Atlantic by early next
week, supporting widespread fresh to strong winds and building
seas ahead of and behind the front.
