Synopsis for the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas
417 PM EDT Sun Aug 9 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A weak trough along the U.S. southeastern coast in
combination with ample deep moisture in place will help maintain
scattered showers and thunderstorms offshore northern Florida
east to near 74W tonight. Otherwise, the ridge associated to high
pressure of 1023 mb will shift southward to along 28N through
Tue. Fresh trades will prevail N of Hispaniola and in the approach
to the Windward Passage through the period, pulsing to strong
speeds each evening and night. The Atlantic ridge will drop a bit
farther southward later next week, which may result in stronger
easterly winds. Of note, a tropical wave is expected to move off
the west coast of Africa early in the week. Environmental
conditions are forecast to be conducive for gradual development
thereafter, and a tropical depression could form during the
latter half of the week while the system moves generally westward
to west-northwestward across the central tropical Atlantic.
