from 07N to 19N W of 55W, the N Atlantic from 19N to
31N W of 55W including the Bahamas, and the Caribbean Sea.

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

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure north of the islands will result in
fresh to locally strong trade winds pulsing nightly in the
south-central Caribbean Sea through Wed night. Fresh to
occasionally strong winds will also pulse in the Windward
Passage, south of the Dominican Republic and in the lee of Cuba
through early Thu, then in the Windward Passage at night through
Sun. Otherwise, moderate to locally fresh winds and moderate
seas can be expected across much of the basin through the middle
of the week, then become confined to mostly the central and
eastern sections of the basin Sat through Sun night.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure off NE Florida is forcing moderate to
fresh E-NE winds west of 70W. Scattered showers and isolated
thunderstorms are present between 60W and 65W in association
with a surface trough. This storm activity will continue
affecting the southeastern Bahamas, Hispaniola and Puerto Rico
through Thu as a possible weak low pressure forms along it and
tracks northeastward. Decaying northerly swell across the waters
impacting Puerto Rico southward to the Leeward islands will
linger through early Wed afternoon. High pressure will build
over the waters north of about 20N later this week allowing for
generally tranquil marine conditions. A cold front may move over
the waters off NE Florida late Sun night. Scattered showers and
thunderstorms could precede this front.
