Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL
947 AM EDT Sun Sep 22 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...Moderate to locally fresh winds and moderate seas
are expected across the E and central Caribbean today. A broad
area of low pressure over the W Caribbean Sea and adjacent parts
of Central America is supporting scattered to locally numerous
showers and thunderstorms over the western Carribbean. Winds and
seas may be locally higher in the showers and thunderstorms.
Environmental conditions appear favorable for gradual
development of this system during the next several days. A
tropical depression is likely to form while the system moves
slowly northward across the northwestern Caribbean Sea and Gulf
of Mexico through the end of the week. There is a high chance of
tropical cyclone formation in the next seven days.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...An area of low pressure centered near 27N56W is
producing scattered showers and thunderstorms. Although
environmental conditions are not very favorable for development,
a short-lived tropical depression cannot be ruled out if showers
and thunderstorms become better organized while the system moves
generally northward over the central subtropical Atlantic. There
is a low chance of tropical formation over the next 48 hours.
Otherwise, a weak cold front will move off the SE coast of the US
this afternoon, then slowly move across the waters N of 25N
through Mon night.
