NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL
1103 AM EDT Mon May 27 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 the Bermuda
High north of the area and lower pressure along N South America
will force fresh to strong trades over the S central Caribbean
and Gulf of Honduras through Wed before diminishing late in the
week. A tropical wave currently over the central Caribbean will
be contributing toward scattered showers and thunderstorms as it
moves slowly westward during the next couple of days. Smoke from
agricultural fires over Central America are causing reduced
visibilities over the Gulf of Honduras.
