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 24N/25N and into the NW Bahamas. The associated pressure gradient between the ridge and lower pressure over SE Mexico is supporting fresh to strong E to SE winds across the Gulf of Honduras, and fresh to locally strong E winds in the south- central Caribbean. Winds in the Gulf of Honduras will become moderate to fresh today through Mon. Fresh to strong winds will pulse at night in the Gulf of Venezuela and offshore Colombia through early Mon then shift eastward to offshore of NW Venezuela through Tue night. A vigorous middle to upper-level trough will dig southward across the western Caribbean Mon night through Thu, and support very active weather over central portions E of 80W Tue through Thu. Smoke due to agricultural fires in Central America continues across the Gulf of Honduras and areas of the northwestern Caribbean. NW Caribbean W of 85W .TODAY...SE winds 10 to 20 kt.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas .SYNOPSIS...A weak frontal trough extends from 31N56W southwestward to 26N69W, while a narrow high pressure ridge extends E to W to the south of the trough along 24N/25N and into the NW Bahamas. The trough will shift eastward through late Sun as it weakens further, allowing the ridge to build modestly into the region E of 72W Mon and Tue. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will move from the NW waters southeastward through this evening, ahead of an upper level trough. Behind this feature, a new front will sink southward into the waters offshore of Georgia and NE Florida early Mon, and move southeastward and stall from near 31N72W to SE Florida late Tue. A trough will develop southeast of the weakening front and extend into the central Bahamas early on Wed, and drift eastward through Thu night. Low pressure is expected to form along the trough near 24N68W Thu evening and move NE. ATLC waters from 27N to 31N W of 77W .TODAY...W winds 10 to 15 kt.
