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

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong winds, and moderate to rough seas
are expected over the central Caribbean through Sun morning due
to the pressure gradient between the Colombian low and the
Atlantic ridge. Winds will pulse to near gale-force at night
offshore of northern Colombia. Elsewhere, fresh to locally
strong trade winds and rough seas in large E swell will prevail
over the Atlantic waters and through the passages and into the
eastern part of the basin through Mon. Looking ahead, a cold
front will enter the northwestern Caribbean early Mon,
accompanied by increasing winds and building seas behind the
front. This front is expected to reach from central Cuba to N
Belize Tue evening then begin to stall and weaken.
