Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL
914 AM EDT Mon Oct 6 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...Rough seas in large N to NE swell over the tropical
Atlantic waters and through the Caribbean Passages will
gradually subside through Tue. Elsewhere, moderate trade winds
will persist across the south-central Caribbean. Moderate E to
SE winds will pulse fresh to locally strong in the northwestern
Caribbean, including the Gulf of Honduras, each night through
the middle of the week. Showers and thunderstorms will remain
active across the northwestern Caribbean through Tue night. A
broad area of low pressure associated with a low-latitude
tropical wave continues to produce a large area of disorganized
showers and thunderstorms over the tropical central Atlantic.
Environmental conditions appear generally conducive for gradual
development of this system, and a tropical depression is likely
to form within the next few days while it moves quickly west-
northwestward across the central tropical Atlantic, approaching
the northern Leeward Islands by the latter part of the week.
Regardless of development, expect an increase in winds and seas
across the tropical Atlantic waters with this system by the end
of the week.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...Rough seas in large N to NE swell across the
regional waters will gradually subside from north to south over
the central Atlantic through Tue night. Fresh to strong NE to E
winds will prevail north of a stationary front, extending from
the central Atlantic near 28N55W through the NW Bahamas and to
the SE Florida coast, through late Tue. Winds will diminish
midweek as the front drifts northward and dissipates. A broad
area of low pressure associated with a low-latitude tropical wave
continues to produce a large area of disorganized showers and
thunderstorms over the tropical central Atlantic. Environmental
conditions appear generally conducive for gradual development of
this system, and a tropical depression is likely to form within
the next few days while it moves quickly west-northwestward
across the central tropical Atlantic, approaching the northern
Leeward Islands by the latter part of the week. Regardless of
development, expect an increase in winds and seas over the SE
waters with this system by the end of the week.
