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

.SYNOPSIS...Gale-force winds will pulse off the northern coast
of Colombia at night through the weekend. A stationary front
from western Cuba to the Gulf of Honduras will dissipate tonight
into Sat. Moderate to rough seas are possible near the Yucatan
Channel through Sat. High pressure will build in as the front
washes out. This will bring moderate to locally fresh winds and
moderate seas across much of the basin, with locally strong
winds near the Windward Passage, S of the Dominican Republic,
and in the Lee of Cuba. Similar winds may develop near the Gulf
of Honduras by mid- week.
