07N to 19N W of 55W

.SYNOPSIS...Gentle to moderate trade winds will prevail over
most of the Caribbean Sea into next week as a weak pressure
gradient persists across the region. Large N to NE swell,
generated by previous Tropical Cyclones Imelda and Humberto,
will continue to produce rough seas in the Atlantic Passages and
over the Atlantic waters E of the Lesser Antilles into Sun
night. Seas will slowly subside early next week. Looking ahead,
moderate to occasionally fresh E to SE winds will pulse in the
Gulf of Honduras Sun night into early next week.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong NE winds will continue off the coast
of Florida and over the northern Bahamas, generally north of 25N
and west of 70W, into early next week, as an old frontal
boundary and weak area of low pressure meanders across the NW
Bahamas and south Florida over the next several days. Farther
east, fresh to strong NE to E winds are expected through Tue
north of a cold front extending from 26N55W to 24N70W to the NW
Bahamas. Large N to NE swell generated by previous Tropical
Cyclones Imelda and Humberto will continue to propagate southward
this weekend, leading to widespread rough seas north of 12N.
Seas in excess of 12 ft are expected north of 23N this weekend,
including near the northern Bahamas through this morning. Looking
ahead, a tropical wave has emerged off the coast of Africa. The
wave is forecast to interact with another disturbance over the
eastern tropical Atlantic, and then move westward after that.
Environmental conditions are expected to become conducive for
some slow development of this system in a few days, and a
tropical depression could form near or east of the Lesser
Antilles by the end of next week.
