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

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front has stalled from eastern Cuba to the N
coast of Honduras. Strong N to NE winds and very rough seas to
14 ft prevail NW of the front. The front will remain nearly
stationary over the NW Caribbean through Wed, then drift NW and
gradually dissipate Wed night through Fri. Winds and seas across
this area will gradually diminish through Thu night. A low level
trough along 81W will combine with the front to support the
development of showers and thunderstorms over the W Caribbean
waters and coastal zones, from the Yucatan Peninsula across
Central America to Panama, through at least Thu. Fresh to strong
winds and rough seas will prevail in the south-central Caribbean
through Thu morning. Weak high pressure will slide E-SE into the
W Atlantic along 27N-28N over the weekend.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from near 31N59W to 25N67W then
becomes stationary to eastern Cuba along 75W. The portion of the
front E of 67W will continue to move eastward and weaken quickly
today, while the remainder of the front will remain nearly
stationary and gradually weaken through Thu evening. Strong N to
NE winds prevail behind the front S of 25N, while fresh NW winds
are N of 25N between the front and 70W. Large NW swell dominates
the entire region behind the front producing very rough seas of
10 to 17 ft. High pressure across the NE Gulf of America will
extend a narrow ridge eastward behind the front as it moves
eastward through Thu. This will lead to winds quickly
diminishing behind the front N of 25N today, and slowly
diminishing winds S of 25N to the stationary front through Thu.
The large NW swell will propagate eastward of 55W on Thu.
Looking ahead, a reinforcing cold front will sweep eastward
across the N waters Thu night through Sat, with high pressure
sliding into the W Atlantic behind it.
