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

.SYNOPSIS...The Atlantic ridge combined with the Colombian low
will maintain fresh to strong easterly trade winds, with
moderate to rough seas across much of the central Caribbean
through early next week. The coverage of these winds is forecast
to shrink by Sat. Unsettled weather conditions will persist in
the NW Caribbean today as a tropical wave moves away. Scattered
showers and isolated thunderstorms will also affect the SE
Caribbean as a tropical wave approaches the Lesser Antilles.
Another tropical wave, currently along 73W, will move across the
central Caribbean today, and across the western part of the
basin on Sat.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...An upper level trough over the SE United States and
a couple of surface troughs result in scattered showers and
isolated thunderstorms north of 25N. Looking ahead, a cold front
is forecast to reach the waters off NE Florida today, then stall,
and remain nearly stationary through Sun extending from near
Bermuda to N Florida. Moderate to fresh NE winds and moderate
seas are expected in the wake of the front by Sun. The Atlantic
ridge will dominate the remainder of the forecast region
producing a gentle to moderate anticyclonic flow.
