NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL
403 AM EDT Thu May 30 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...A moderate pressure gradient between high pressure
north of the area and low pressure near Colombia will maintain
fresh to strong trade winds over the south-central Caribbean and
Gulf of Honduras through Fri night. Winds will become moderate
to fresh Thu through Fri as the pressure gradient slackens some.
The pressure gradient will increase Fri night behind a tropical
wave that is currently in the far southeastern part of the
Caribbean leading to fresh to strong trade winds across the
central basin through early Mon. A tropical wave currently over
the western Caribbean near 86W is producing scattered to
numerous showers and thunderstorms over the southwestern
Caribbean and over Honduras and northern Costa Rica. The wave
will move inland the Yucatan Peninsula and northern Central
America today. Smoke from agricultural fires over Central
America is causing reduced visibilities over portions of the
Gulf of Honduras.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...Relatively weak surface ridging over the region is
allowing for moderate or lighter winds to exist over the
forecast waters. A cold front will move off the southeastern
U.S. coast today, move across the western half of the area
through Fri night, and across the remainder of the forecast
waters through late Mon. High pressure building in behind the
front will tighten the pressure gradient across the region,
bringing moderate to fresh winds across waters north of 20N.
Moderate seas can also be expected with these winds. Conditions
will slightly improve by early next week north of 27N.
