Synopsis for the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas
1108 AM EDT Thu Oct 22 2026
.SYNOPSIS...Large N swell, generated by Subtropical Storm Josephine
centered off the NE of the United States, is moving into the region
north of 27N and west of 65W this morning. A tightening pressure
gradient will develop beginning late Fri as high pressure builds
southward over the western Atlantic and low pressure deepens near
the Bahamas along a trough or developing frontal boundary. This
setup is expected to induce widespread fresh to strong NE to E
winds and rough to very rough seas, with winds likely reaching
gale-force over the waters north of 28N between 60W and 75W on
Sun. Mariners should monitor the latest marine forecasts, and have
avoidance plans in place.
