Synopsis for Caribbean Sea and Tropical N Atlantic from
07N to 19N W of 55W

.SYNOPSIS...A strong deep-layered trough across the Caribbean
from eastern Cuba to Nicaragua will lift out to the NE through
late Sat. This feature will support active weather across the
central portions of the basin, which will gradually shift NE and
into the Atlantic through tonight. A broad and weak trough will
prevail across the north-central Caribbean through Sat, yielding
moderate trade winds across the E portions and moderate to fresh
winds across NW portions of the basin. Smoke due to agricultural
fires in Central America may persist across the Gulf of Honduras
today.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...Scattered showers and thunderstorms along with fresh
winds and building seas will persist today near a developing low
pressure area roughly half way between Bermuda and Hispaniola.
Expect fresh to strong winds and rough seas near the low
pressure
through Sat as it makes its closest point of approach of 210 nm
to the southeast of Bermuda Sat afternoon before weakening as it
moves slowly into the north central Atlantic through the early
part of next week. Farther west, weak high pressure will build
between Bermuda and the central Bahamas Sat into Sun following
the low pressure. Looking ahead, moderate winds and seas are
possible north of the Bahamas and off northeast Florida by Mon
night as the high pressure shifts eastward ahead of a cold front
expected to move off the southeast U.S. coast by mid week.
