Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...A mostly stationary front extends from 31N60W to the
Anegada Passage, and weaken considerably through early Wed.
Associated low pressure north of Bermuda will begin to move
slowly S-SE and weaken today as it crosses into the area
Atlantic waters through mid week, then gradually becomes
stationary near 26N60W on Thu while dissipating. A narrow high
pressure ridge will build southward into the Bahamas through Wed
leading to diminishing winds W of the front. Large N to NE swell
will gradually subside west of 70W through late Wed, but persist
east of 70W through Fri as the swell moves eastward. Looking
ahead, fresh to strong wind and rough seas will follow a new
cold front that will move off the northeast Florida coast Thu,
reach from Bermuda to eastern Cuba Fri morning, and from 31N55W
to central Hispaniola Sat morning.
