Synopsis for Caribbean Sea, and Tropical N Atlantic from 07N to
19N W of 55W
449 AM EDT Sat Aug 29 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A strong tropical wave, associated with the remnants
of Dolly, is producing a large area of showers and thunderstorms a
few hundred miles east of the Leeward Islands. This system will
also bring gale conditions and rough to very rough seas to the
area east of the Lesser Antilles today. Strong winds, rough seas,
and thunderstorms will spread into the far NE Caribbean, Virgin
Islands, and Puerto Rico tonight into early next week. Otherwise,
the pressure gradient between high pressure north of the basin and
lower pressure over South America will support strong trades and
rough seas over the south-central Caribbean this weekend. These
winds will diminish some early next week as the aforementioned
tropical wave disrupts the pressure gradient, but will increase
again by the middle of next week.
