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

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure ridging extends from the central
Atlantic westward to central Florida. It will slowly shift
eastward through the weekend. The associated gradient will
support moderate to fresh trade winds over the south-central and
southeastern Caribbean through the weekend. Winds may increase
some early next week. Meanwhile, fresh to locally strong east
winds will pulse primarily at night across the Gulf of Honduras
through Sun. Looking ahead, expect fresh to strong southeast
winds over the northwestern Caribbean and south-central
Caribbean off Colombia early next week, between the high
pressure over the western Atlantic and lowering pressure across
the southwestern Gulf of Mexico and over Colombia. These winds
may pulse to near gale fore over or near the Gulf of Honduras by
Tue night. Gentle to moderate winds and moderate seas will
persist elsewhere.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure ridging extending westward from the
central Atlantic to central Florida will slowly shift east-
southeastward through Sat, ahead of a cold front that will
approach from the northwest. Expect fresh to strong south to
southwest winds ahead of the front tonight through late Fri
between the northern Bahamas and Bermuda. The front is expected
to move off the northeast Florida coast Fri night, then weaken
as it moves east reaching from near Bermuda to the central
Bahamas by late Sat night. Winds and seas will diminish into Mon
as the dissipating front continues to drift east of the area, and
high pressure builds between the Carolinas and Bermuda in the
wake of front. Looking ahead, southeast winds will increase and
seas will build late Mon through Tue night off northeast Florida
and north of the Bahamas, as the high pressure shifts eastward
ahead of the next weak front that is expected to move across the
southeastern United States.
