Synopsis for Caribbean Sea, and Tropical N Atlantic from 07N to
19N W of 55W
943 PM EDT Fri Apr 17 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A surface trough extending across eastern Cuba and
Jamaica will drift slowly westward and weaken through Sat. This
feature will disrupt the typical weather pattern across the
basin with a weaker than usual pressure gradient. This weaker
pressure gradient will support mainly gentle to moderate winds
through the remainder of the forecast period. Fresh NE winds may
develop early next week across the Windward Passage associated
with a late- season cold front moving into Cuba.
