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

.SYNOPSIS...Pulsing gale force winds will occur offshore of
Colombia each night and morning through the middle of next week
as a tight pressure gradient prevails between low pressure over
Colombia and high pressure in the western Atlantic. Widespread
moderate to fresh trades are expected across much of the
Caribbean, with winds pulsing to strong speeds across the central
basin, through the Windward Passage, downwind of Hispaniola and
in the lee of Cuba. Rough seas will occur across the central and
southwestern Caribbean, with localized very rough seas near the
strongest winds. Elsewhere, residual E swell in the tropical
Atlantic waters will combine with a new N swell this weekend,
promoting locally rough seas east of the Windward and Leeward
Islands and their passages into the Caribbean through the middle
of next week. Moderate seas will prevail across the remainder of
the basin.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...Building high pressure over the western Atlantic
will support increasing moderate to fresh E to NE winds and
building seas north of 20N today. A tightening pressure gradient
between the aforementioned ridge and low pressure moving eastward
through the United States will lead to fresh to strong S to SW
winds offshore of Florida, generally north of 28N and west of
65W, this afternoon through Sat morning. Winds will diminish by
Sat afternoon in this region as the low moves offshore and lifts
to the northeast. Elsewhere, fresh to strong E winds and rough
seas will continue south of 22N through the beginning of next
week. Looking ahead, gentle to moderate winds and moderate seas
are forecast for the waters north of 22N for Sun into early next
week.
