Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL
1005 PM EDT Tue Apr 9 2024

Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast for the Tropical N Atlantic
from 07N to 19N W of 55W, the N Atlantic from 19N to
31N W of 55W including the 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 W of 55W

.SYNOPSIS...The pressure gradient between high pressure across
the western Atlantic and low pressure over Colombia will support
fresh to strong winds across most of the central Caribbean,
pulsing to near gale-force at night off of Colombia through the
next several nights. The area of 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...Large NW swell will across the NE waters will shift
E of the area Wed. High pressure in the western Atlantic will
drift to near Bermuda by Wed night, then shift E Thu and Fri. 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
