Synopsis for Caribbean Sea and Tropical N Atlantic from
07N to 19N W of 55W

.SYNOPSIS...The pressure gradient between the Atlantic high
pressure and the Colombia low will continue to allow for fresh
to strong winds and rough seas over the south-central Caribbean
through Wed night. The strongest winds will occur off the coast
of Colombia, occasionally pulsing to near gale-force at night.
Moderate to fresh trades will prevail over the E Caribbean while
moderate or weaker winds are forecast for the NW Caribbean.
Otherwise, a tropical wave accompanied by scattered showers and
thunderstorms will continue to move across the eastern Caribbean
today, the central Caribbean tonight into Sun and across the SW
basin Sun night into Mon.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure will dominate the weather pattern
through the period, supporting a gentle to moderate anticyclonic
flow and slight to moderate seas. The pressure gradient between
a tropical wave currently moving across the E Caribbean and the
Atlantic high pressure will support an area of fresh to locally
strong E to SE winds with moderate to rough seas that will move
north of the Leeward Islands and Puerto Rico through today and N
of Hispaniola tonight into Sun. Winds and seas will diminish Sun
as the high pressure weakens some.
