.SYNOPSIS...The pressure gradient between a broad ridge over the
central and western subtropical Atlantic waters and Hurricane
Rafael in the SE Gulf will support fresh to strong E to SE winds
and rough seas across the Florida adjacent waters and offshore
waters N and E of the Bahamas through early today. Winds and
seas will gradually diminish to gentle to moderate speeds by
Fri. A  trough of low pressure just northeast of the northern
Leeward  Islands continues to produce disorganized showers and
thunderstorms. Some gradual development of this system is
possible during the couple of days while it moves westward near
the  Greater Antilles. Regardless of development, locally heavy
rains  are possible during the next couple of days across the
northern  Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico,
Hispaniola, and  the southeastern Bahamas.
