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

.SYNOPSIS...A 1019 mb high pressure north of the area supports
moderate to fresh easterly trade winds over much of the
Caribbean basin. Fresh to strong winds are pulsing in the
offshore waters of southern Hispaniola. The ridge is expected to
slide eastward and weaken some over the next few days, resulting
in mainly gentle to moderate trade winds through the week and
into the weekend. Northerly swell will support rough seas
through the the NE Caribbean passages until this afternoon.

Bermuda and the Bahamas dominates the western Atlantic. Fresh NW
winds and seas to 8 ft are affecting the waters N of 28N and E

weakening cold front moves E away from the area. Moderate to
fresh easterly winds will continue over the waters S of 22N and
W of 60W through today, including in the approaches of the
Windward Passage. The high pressure will move eastward while
slowly weakening. A surface trough may develop just N of
Hispaniola over the next 48 hours and move east toward the waters
just north of Puerto Rico by the end of the work week.
