Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas .SYNOPSIS...A 992 mb low pressure system located offshore North Carolina will shift eastward today, dragging a cold front across the western Atlantic waters. The front currently extends from the low through 31N69W across the central Bahamas and east- central Cuba. Strong to gale-force SW winds are expected through Wed morning within about 120 nm E of the front and N of 26N, accompanied by strong thunderstorms. Strong to gale-force W to NW winds and very rough seas are expected behind the front and N of 26N through Wed. The front will reach from near Bermuda to eastern Cuba by this evening, from 31N59W to the Windward Passage by Wed morning, and from 31N51W to the N coast of Hispaniola by Thu morning. The low will lift out to the northeast by mid week, as the front weakens while moving east of the area, with a trailing portion of the front stalling across the coastal waters of Puerto Rico early Fri before dissipating. Winds and seas will diminish from west to east through late week as high pressure builds over the western Atlantic in the wake of the front.
