Synopsis for the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas
319 PM EDT Wed Mar 18 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from 31N70W to the NW
Bahamas and western Cuba. The front will remain nearly stationary
from near Bermuda to the central Bahamas on Thu. A weak low
pressure is forecast to develop along the frontal boundary late
Thu into Fri, and move quickly NE and N of the forecast area by
Sat. This will tighten the pressure gradient, supporting fresh to
strong winds and rough seas on either side of front and across the
offshore forecast waters N of 25N through the weekend as this
system then transitions to a cold front and moves east of the
area.
