Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...Subtropical ridge between Bermuda and the Bahamas is
forcing moderate to locally strong winds west of 70W. A surface
trough analyzed along 63W is producing scattered showers and
isolated thunderstorms between 57W and 63W. This storm activity
will continue affecting Hispaniola and Puerto Rico through early
Thu as a weak low pressure forms along it and tracks
northeastward. Rough seas north of the Leeward Islands will
gradually subside over the next few days. Later this week, high
pressure will build over the waters north of about 20N allowing
for generally tranquil marine conditions. A cold front may move
over the waters off NE Florida late Sun night. Scattered showers
and thunderstorms could precede this front.
