   AMZ001-140815-  Synopsis for Caribbean Sea, and Tropical N Atlantic from 07N to  19N W of 55W  312 PM EST Fri Dec 13 2024      .SYNOPSIS...Strong ridging over the SE United States will  continue to force fresh to strong NE winds across the central  and W Caribbean including through the Windward Passage until Sun  night. A broad surface trough extending across the Lesser Antilles  this afternoon will gradually move westward over the next few  days. This trough will cause the pressure gradient to relax across  most of the Caribbean and early next week the trades across the  Caribbean should be only moderate or weaker. Looking ahead, a  building ridge may enhance the trades over the central Caribbean  starting on Tue night.    $$
