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

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong trade winds and rough seas across
the south-central Caribbean will expand across most of the
central and into the west-central basin, including through the
Windward Passage, today through Sat morning, as central Atlantic
high pressure along 31N-32N gradually shifts westward to near
75W. Strong to near gale-force winds are expected offshore of
northern Colombia and in the Gulf of Venezuela each night and
early morning into Sat. Winds and seas will diminish slightly
Sat into early next week as high pressure weakens north of the
area. Elsewhere, pulsing moderate to fresh E to NE winds are
expected in the Gulf of Honduras each afternoon and evening into
this weekend. Moderate to fresh trade winds and moderate seas
will continue in the eastern basin into next week.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...Moderate to locally fresh E to SE winds are expected
north of the Greater Antilles to 26N and off the coast of
Florida west of 76W today as high pressure in the central
Atlantic along 31N-32N builds westward into Florida, in the wake
of westward moving low pressure over the NE Gulf of America.
Scattered squalls and thunderstorms will move through the
northern Bahamas and southeast Florida coastal waters today,
associated with a tropical wave passing south of the area. Fresh
winds will pulse to strong each evening and night off the coast
of northern Hispaniola into early Sat. Winds will diminish off
the coast of Florida by early Fri, and north of the Greater
Antilles and the Bahamas by Sat morning as high pressure shifts
to near 29N75W and weakens. South of 20N, moderate to
occasionally fresh trade winds and moderate seas will prevail
through this weekend.
