Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida .SYNOPSIS...Atlantic high pressure centered NE of Bermuda extends a ridge southwestward across the Northern Bahamas and central Florida, and will remain in place through Mon, then shift NE and weaken through Wed. This pattern will promote gentle to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas, except for fresh to strong winds during the evening and nighttime hours along the north coast of Hispaniola through Mon. A robust tropical wave currently in the central Atlantic is expected to gradually develop over the next few days, and a tropical depression is likely to form by within the next couple of days while the system approaches and then moves near or over the Leeward Islands. Interests on these islands should continue to monitor the progress of this system, and watches or warnings could be required for portions of the area as soon as later today. The system could approach portions of the Greater Antilles by the middle of the week. Regardless of development, gale conditions are expected to begin affecting the SE Atlantic waters and portions of the extreme NE Caribbean beginning early Wed morning. .THIS AFTERNOON...E winds 10 to 15 kt S of 27N, and S 5 to 10 kt N of 27N.
