NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL
410 PM EDT Fri Apr 19 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...Broad high pressure located between Bermuda and the
Bahamas will support fresh to locally strong trade winds in the
lee of Cuba, Windward Passage, and south of the Dominican
Republic at night during the next few days. These winds will
gradually diminish this weekend into early next week as a cold
front moves across the western Atlantic and the pressure
gradient relaxes. A locally tight pressure gradient will support
pulsing fresh to locally strong winds near northern Colombia at
night through the period. A surface trough approaching the
Windward Islands is accompanied by scattered showers and
thunderstorms with gusty winds. The trough will move across the
islands into the southeastern Caribbean tonight through the
weekend.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...A trough extends southwestward from the central
Atlantic to near 19N60W. Otherwise, high pressure dominates the
basin. The low and trough will shift east-northeastward into the
weekend. Elsewhere, high pressure will remain through Sun, with
mostly gentle to moderate winds across the area. A cold front
will move offshore northeastern Florida Sun night into Mon,
reaching from near 31N71W to the NW Bahamas by early Tue, from
near 31N70W to near 26N75W by late Tue night, then slowly
continue eastward over the remainder of the north-central waters
through Wed night while weakening. Scattered showers and
thunderstorms are expected with the cold front. Mainly fresh
winds southerly winds are expected ahead of the front, with
locally strong winds near 31N along with building seas. Moderate
to fresh northwest to north winds are expected behind the front,
increasing to fresh to strong Mon night. Winds may freshen over
the southeastern waters next week as the pressure gradient
tightens there leading to building seas. Mainly slight to
moderate seas will prevail elsewhere.
