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

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from east-central Cuba to the
Gulf of Honduras will move SE and reach from east Cuba to
central Honduras by this evening, and from Haiti to the Gulf of
Honduras by Wed morning before dissipating. Expect fresh N winds
and moderate seas behind the front through late this morning.
Otherwise, weak high pressure N of the area will support
moderate to fresh NE to E trade winds offshore of northwestern
Colombia and in the Gulf of Venezuela most of the week. Winds
there will pulse to fresh to strong speeds at night Thu into the
weekend. Fresh to strong SE to S winds will develop across the
Gulf of Honduras and NW Caribbean Fri night through Sat as
strong high pressure builds across the western Atlantic.

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.
