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

.SYNOPSIS...Large N swell will produce rough seas over the
waters east of the Lesser Antilles and through the Atlantic
Passages this weekend before seas slowly subside early next week.
Moderate seas will also filter through the eastern Caribbean
this weekend. Elsewhere, moderate to locally fresh E to SE winds
will pulse in the northwestern Caribbean, including the Gulf of
Honduras, each night through the middle of next week. Looking
ahead, a tropical wave between the west coast of Africa and Cabo
Verde Islands could see gradual development over the next few
days, and it could become a tropical depression by the middle to
latter part of next week while moving across the central tropical
Atlantic and approaching portions of the Leeward Islands. There
is a medium chance of tropical development within the next 7
days.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...Large N to NE swell will continue to produce rough
seas from coastal Florida through the Bahamas and Greater
Antilles and across much of the open ocean, generally north of
10N, this weekend. Very rough seas in excess of 12 ft are
expected north of 20N through Sun morning. Seas will slowly
subside from north to south over the central Atlantic early next
week, with rough seas persisting north of 24N and west of 60W
through midweek. Fresh to strong NE to E winds will prevail north
of a stationary front, extending from the central Atlantic
through the Florida Straits, through at least Tue before winds
slowly diminish midweek. Looking ahead, a tropical wave between
the west coast of Africa and Cabo Verde Islands could see gradual
development over the next few days, and it could become a
tropical depression by the middle to latter part of next week
while moving across the central tropical Atlantic and approaching
portions of the Leeward Islands. There is a medium chance of
tropical development within the next 7 days.
