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...The Atlantic ridge extends from the central Atlantic
westward to central Florida, and will shift slowly eastward
through the weekend. This pattern will support moderate to fresh
trade winds over the south-central and SE Caribbean through the
weekend, with some increasing winds possible early next week.
Meanwhile, expect pulses of fresh to locally strong E winds at
night across the Gulf of Honduras into the start of next week
due to the pressure gradient between the high pressure and lower
pressure over Central America. Gentle to moderate winds and
moderate seas will persist elsewhere.
