964 FZNT31 KNHC 131435 OFFN20 Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 1035 AM EDT Thu Jun 13 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...High pressure located NE of the area combined with the Colombian low and the passage of tropical waves will support fresh to strong trade winds across the central Caribbean through tonight. Moderate to fresh southeast winds are expected over the northwestern Caribbean likely through Fri as a trough of low pressure remains over the eastern Gulf of Mexico. Otherwise, scattered showers and thunderstorms are forecast to continue across portions of the northwestern Caribbean through the rest of the week as a surge of tropical moisture persists across the region. Looking ahead, expect increasing winds and building seas over the western Caribbean, including the Gulf of Honduras, over the upcoming weekend as a broad area of low pressure is forecast to form over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas .SYNOPSIS...An elongated area of low pressure offshore the coast of Florida is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Despite strong upper-level winds, some gradual development is possible while the system moves northeastward offshore of the southeastern U.S. coast during the next couple of days. The showers and thunderstorms will be numerous in coverage and contain gusty winds and frequent lightning at times over most of the western part of the forecast waters, mainly W of a line from 31N70W to the central Bahamas. Expect for little change with this convective activity through at least Fri. Fresh to strong southerly winds are expected over the western Atlantic ahead of this system during the next couple of days. As the low pressure departs, high pressure will build southward over the western Atlantic beginning this weekend and into early next week.
