Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas .SYNOPSIS...A cold front is analyzed from 31N33W to 24N45W, then transitions to stationary from that point to 19N65W. Moderate to fresh NE to E winds and rough seas to 9 ft are ongoing N of the front between 55W and 62W. The tail end of the front will lift N through the weekend while weakening. High pressure over the NW Atlantic will build while it shifts SE to the central Atlantic waters through early next week. The pressure gradient between the associated ridge and the remnants of the aforementioned front will lead to the development of fresh to strong winds north of 22N and E of the Bahamas this weekend. These winds will support building rough seas across E of the Bahamas. Looking ahead, a strong cold front will push off the SE United States coast early Mon preceded and followed by fresh to near-gale force winds. The front will reach from 31N68W to the Turks and Caicos and eastern Cuba Tue morning, and from Bermuda to Puerto Rico Wed morning.
