NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL
1050 AM EDT Wed Jun 12 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.

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
Thu night. 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.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...An elongated area of low pressure over the Florida
peninsula is producing a large area of disorganized showers and
thunderstorms. Although upper-level winds are expected to be
only marginally conducive, some slow development is possible
while the system moves northeastward offshore of the U.S.
Southeast coast tonight through late week. Unsettled weather in
the form of numerous showers and thunderstorms, with gusty winds
and higher seas, are over most of the western part of the
forecast waters W of 70W. Expect for little change with this
convective activity into the end of the week. Fresh to strong
southerly winds are expected over the western Atlantic ahead of
this system during the next couple of days.
