Synopsis for the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas
438 AM EDT Thu Jun 18 2026
.SYNOPSIS...The western Atlantic ridge will remain in place
along 27N-28N through the upcoming weekend, while weakening
slightly Fri night through Sun, as a frontal system clips the
waters offshore of NE Florida. The related pressure gradient will
maintain moderate to locally fresh trade winds south of 22N
through Sun. Moderate to locally fresh SW winds offshore of
northeast Florida to near 75W will expand eastward to near 70W
through tonight, as a weak frontal system moves across the
southeastern U.S. The front is expected to move slowly offshore
early Sat and stall offshore NE Florida by Sun, allowing the
moderate to fresh SW winds to shift eastward ahead of it across
the northern waters. Expect fresh to strong winds each afternoon
through late evening across Atlantic waters near Puerto Rico and
Hispaniola.
