diminish through this evening. Generally moderate trade winds
are expected across the basin, except for fresh to strong winds
pulsing in the Gulf of Honduras at night through Tue night.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...A weak 1012 mb low is near 28N66W, with a trough to
31N63W. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are north of 28N

east-northeastward through Sun evening as it weakens further and
becomes absorbed by a frontal boundary. Otherwise, relatively
weak high pressure will remain over the region for the next few
days. The associated gradient will support 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 that is expected to move off the southeastern U.S.
coast Mon night, move across the waters east of northern Florida
early on Tue, reach from near 31N79W to east-central Florida
early on Wed and from near 31N78W to 29N79W and stationary to
