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

.SYNOPSIS...A strong deep-layered trough continues across the
Caribbean tonight, from central Cuba to Costa Rica, and will
begin to lift out to the NE this afternoon through Sat night.
This feature will support active weather across the central
portions of the basin, which will gradually shift NE and into
the Atlc through Fri night. Fresh E to SE winds in the
north-central Caribbean will shift northeastward today and
diminishing to moderate speeds. A broad and weak trough will
prevail across the north-central Caribbean Thu night through
Sat, yielding moderate trade winds across E portions and
moderate to fresh winds across NW portions of the basin. Smoke
due to agricultural fires in Central America continues across
the Gulf of Honduras, and spreads NW to the Yucatan coast.
