Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL
401 PM EDT Tue Apr 9 2024

Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast for the Tropical N Atlantic
from 07N to 22N between 55W and 64W, the SW N Atlantic S of
31N W of 65W including Bahamas, and the Caribbean Sea.

Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average
height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be
more than twice the significant wave height.

Synopsis for Caribbean Sea and Tropical N Atlantic from
07N to 19N between 55W and 64W

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure will build across the western Atlantic
through Wed, tightening the pressure gradient across the region.
This will result in fresh to strong winds expanding in areal
coverage across most of the central Caribbean, pulsing to near
gale-force at night off of Colombia through the next several
nights/mornings. The building high pressure will also support
fresh to strong winds in the Windward Passage, south of
Hispaniola, and in the Gulf of Honduras. Winds will start to
diminish the end of the week as the high pressure shifts eastward
and well NE of the region. Looking ahead, a cold front is
expected to reach the Yucatan Channel Thu night, then stall and
weaken over the NW Caribbean late Fri into Sat.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...Large NW swell will prevail across the NE waters
through tonight before shifting E of the area. High pressure in
the far western Atlantic will drift to near Bermuda by Wed night,
then shift E Thu and Fri. The associated ridge will support
moderate to fresh winds across the Great Bahama Bank and the
Caribbean approaches through tonight, becoming fresh to strong
Wed through Thu. Fresh southerly winds will develop offshore of
Florida and N of the Bahamas on Wed evening and increase to strong
to near gale-force Wed night through Thu, ahead of an approaching
cold front. The front is expected to cross the Florida Peninsula
Thu night, with gales possible Thu and Thu night N of 30N and E
of the front. The front will reach from 31N74W to the NW Bahamas
Fri morning, and from near Bermuda to the central Bahamas Sat
morning. The front will then stall and dissipate through the
remainder of the upcoming weekend.
