Synopsis for the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas
825 AM EST Fri Jan 23 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A dissipating frontal boundary is just N of the
northwestern waters this morning, and extending inland across
southern Georgia. Meanwhile, high pressure is centered across the
central Atlantic. High pressure will shift E off the Middle
Atlantic U.S. coast Sat and Sun and force the front southward to
along 30N before lifting N of the area Sun night. Fresh to strong
S to SW winds will then develop over the NW forecast waters late
Sun through early Mon in advance of a strong Arctic cold front
that is expected to move offshore northeastern Florida early Mon.
The front will be accompanied by scattered showers and
thunderstorms as it reaches from near 31N70W to the NW Bahamas
and Straits of Florida Mon evening, from near 31N55W to the SE
Bahamas and eastern Cuba Tue evening, and weaken as it reaches
from near 31N50W to 27N60W, then as a stationary front to the SE
Bahamas and eastern Cuba. Fresh to strong northerly winds and
rough seas are expected W of the front Mon afternoon through Tue,
becoming mostly fresh NE winds on Wed within about 180 nm NW of
the frontal boundary.
