Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL
521 PM EDT Fri Aug 29 2025

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...Scattered showers and thunderstorms in the
southeastern Caribbean are not presently associated with a
tropical wave, but are expected to persist into Sat, at which
time a tropical wave will approach the Lesser Antilles and the
eastern Caribbean. Another tropical wave, currently along 77W,
will move across the rest of the central Caribbean today, then
across the western part of the basin Sat through Sun night.
Otherwise, Atlantic high pressure in combination with low
pressure over northern Colombia will maintain fresh to strong
trades along with moderate to rough seas across much of the
central Caribbean through early next week. The coverage of these
winds is forecast to shrink starting early on Tue.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from near 31N73W to
30N77W, to inland northern Florida and continuing well west from
there. The combination of this feature with an upper level
trough passing east of NE Florida is resulting in scattered to
numerous showers across most of the western half of the offshore
waters. Low pressure is expected to form along the front west of
the area and track ENE to offshore the southeastern United States
Sat night through Mon. As this happens, the stationary front
will transition to a cold front that will slowly sink southward
through late Mon. Behind it, strengthening high pressure will
surge southward along the southeastern U.S. coast increasing the
gradient behind the front leading to fresh northeast to east
winds N of 29N and W of 79W Mon night into Tue. Expect for the
scattered showers and thunderstorms to continue through the
weekend, except into early next week for the northwest portion of
the area. Elsewhere, high pressure will remain in control of the
general weather pattern providing for a gentle to moderate
anticyclonic wind flow.
