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...Light to gentle, with locally moderate, winds and
slight seas are expected over the Caribbean through Sat.
Moderate to locally fresh trade winds and moderate seas will
develop over the central and eastern Caribbean this weekend as
high pressure builds N of the area. Fresh to strong winds and
rough seas will accompany a tropical wave as it moves across the
tropical Atlantic waters this weekend. The wave will move into
the eastern Caribbean Sun night. Gradual development of this
system is possible, and there is a low chance of tropical
development within the next 7 days. Regardless of development,
this system is expected to bring building seas, heavy rainfall
and gusty winds over the tropical Atlantic waters this weekend
and across the Caribbean Sea much of next week.
