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

.SYNOPSIS...A strong deep-layer trough across the Caribbean from
eastern Cuba to northern Costa Rica will lift NE through late
Sat. This feature will continue to support active weather across
the central portions of the basin, which will gradually shift NE
and into the Atlantic through tonight. A broad and weak trough
will prevail across the north-central Caribbean through Sat,
yielding moderate trade winds across the E portions and moderate
to fresh winds across NW portions of the basin. Smoke due to
agricultural fires in Central America may persist across the
Gulf of Honduras today.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...A trough extends from near 28N66W southwestward to
weak low pressure of 1013 mb near 23N72W. Another trough extends
from the low southward to the central Dominican Republic.
Scattered to numerous and thunderstorms are presently north of
19N between 63W and 68W and from 25N to 29N between 68W and 73W.
Another low is expected to form along the trough about halfway
between Bermuda and Hispaniola today. Although environmental
conditions are not conducive, some slight subtropical or
tropical development is possible over the next couple of days
while the system moves northeastward. Farther west, weak high
pressure will build between Bermuda and the central Bahamas Sat
into Sun following the low pressure. Looking ahead, moderate
winds and seas are possible north of the Bahamas and off
northeast Florida by Mon night as the high pressure shifts
eastward ahead of a cold front expected to move off the
southeast
 U.S. coast by mid-week.
