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

.SYNOPSIS...A shearline extends from near northwestern Haiti to
18N82W and to the Gulf of Honduras. Fresh to strong northeast
winds are north of the shearline. These winds will continue into
early Fri, then become fresh northeast to east winds through
Sat. Elsewhere, fresh to strong trade winds over the central
portion of the basin will continue into late Fri night.
Widespread rough seas will continue over these areas. Winds and
seas will slowly diminish into early Fri as the shearline
gradually weakens and high pressure to the north weakens.
Elsewhere, locally fresh northeast winds will continue to pulse
in the lee of Cuba and near the coasts of NW Venezuela and
Colombia into Sat. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will
continue west of about 80W through Fri. This activity is
expected to be numerous in coverage along and north of the
shearline. Moderate trade winds and moderate seas are expected
over the basin this weekend into Mon.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from near 31N54W to 27N60W,
where it becomes stationary to 25N66W and to northwest Haiti.
Fresh northeast winds will continue north of the front to 25N
between 68W and Cuba today, then moderate to locally fresh winds
will continue through late Fri night as the fronts slowly
dissipate. Seas to 12 ft over the NE forecast waters will
subside tonight. Elsewhere, a new cold front moving eastward
away from the southeastern U.S. overnight will lead to moderate
to fresh west to northwest winds and locally rough seas north of
29N through tonight. The cold front is expected to reach the
central Atlantic by late Fri. Looking ahead, a series of cold
fronts passing north of the region this weekend will lead to
strengthening winds and building seas over the northern forecast
waters while weak high pressure prevails elsewhere.
