506 PM EDT Fri May 17 2024

Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast for the Tropical N Atlantic
from 07N to 19N W of 55W, the N Atlantic from 19N to
31N W of 55W including the Bahamas, and the Caribbean Sea.

Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average
height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be
more than twice the significant wave height.

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

.SYNOPSIS...A weak and narrow Atlantic ridge extends westward
along 23N/24N into the central Bahamas. The associated pressure
gradient is supporting fresh to strong SE winds in the Gulf of
Honduras and fresh, to at times, locally strong E winds in the
south central Caribbean. Strong winds in the Gulf of Honduras
will persist through Sun, reaching near gale-force this evening
into Sat morning and again Sat night. Fresh to strong winds will
pulse at night in the Gulf of Venezuela and offshore Colombia
through Sun night. Gentle to moderate winds are expected
elsewhere through early next week. High pressure from the
eastern Atlantic will ridge westward Wed and Wed night while
strengthening some. A tightening gradient between the ridge and
relatively lower pressure in the southwestern Caribbean is
expected to lead to increasing trade winds over most of the
central and eastern Caribbean at that same time. Meanwhile,
rather dense smoke due to agricultural fires in Central America
continues across areas of the northwestern Caribbean, and is
reducing the visibility in the Gulf of Honduras.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from 31N62W southwestward to

slowly eastward, and shift east of 55W early Mon. Active weather
is expected to continue ahead of the front through Sun. Fresh
southerly winds ahead of the front will continue through Fri

then diminish further. Moderate to locally fresh winds and
moderate seas are expected through Sun night as weak high
pressure extends E to W roughly along 24N-25N. A new front will
sink southward into the waters offshore of Georgia and NE
Florida early Mon and move southeastward and weaken through late
