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

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extending from eastern Cuba to
Jamaica to the Nicaragua offshore waters will weaken and
dissipate over the weekend. Strong N winds behind the front, in
the lee side of E Cuba and over the Nicaragua offshores, will
diminish to fresh speeds by Sat evening. A tightening pressure
gradient between developing low pressure in the SW Caribbean and
high pressure building over the SE United States will lead to
the development of fresh NE winds in the Atlantic Passages on
Sat. Moderate to fresh NE to E winds and moderate seas in E
swell will develop across much of the basin Sun into the middle
of next week. Otherwise, a surface trough from Dominican
Republic to the central Caribbean waters, which is producing
scattered showers and thunderstorms, is forecast to reach the W
Caribbean by Sun and stall into next week.
