Synopsis for Caribbean Sea, and Tropical N Atlantic from 07N to
19N W of 55W
333 PM EST Sat Jan 31 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A trough extends from a 1004 mb low pressure north of
the central Bahamas southward across central Cuba to 11N83W. An
unusually strong cold front that is currently moving through the
eastern Gulf of America and the Yucatan Channel will overtake the
trough late tonight. The cold front will reach from the vicinity
of the Windward Passage and to Panama late tonight, and from
Puerto Rico to NE Colombia by Sun evening. It will then begin to
stall from eastern Puerto Rico to northwest Venezuela by Mon.
Strong to near gale force N winds and rough seas are expected
behind this front. By early Tue, fresh to strong N to NW winds
will prevail W of a line from the Virgin Islands to NE Colombia to
central Cuba along with seas to near 12 ft. These winds and seas
will likely diminish in coverage on Wed.
