Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...Hurricane Imelda is near 32.8N 61.9W at 5 AM EDT,
and
is moving east-northeast at 26 kt. Maximum sustained winds are
75 kt with gusts to 90 kt, and the minimum central pressure is
975 mb. Imelda will continue to move away from our waters over
the next few days, allowing for ridging to build across the SW N
Atlantic. Long period northerly swell generated by former
hurricane Humberto and Hurricane Imelda will affect just about
the entire forecast domain through early next week. Strong to
near gale-force winds will shift eastward north of 25N and east
of 73W tonight through early Sat before lifting northward.
Moreover, a building ridge over the eastern United States and a
developing area of low pressure off southern Florida will force
fresh to strong E winds across the waters off NE Florida and the
NW Bahamas today through the weekend. Looking ahead, a tropical
wave is expected to move off the coast of Africa over the next
day or two. Thereafter, this wave is forecast to interact with
another disturbance in the eastern tropical Atlantic, and some
slow development of the combined feature is possible as the
system moves westward to west-northwestward at 15 to 20 mph.
