Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from 26N55W to 23N60W then
becomes stationary to Hispaniola. A reinforcing front extends
from 31N59W to the central Bahamas. The fronts will merge and
become stationary from 26N55W to the central Bahamas Sat and
dissipate through Sun. Fresh to strong winds are expected across
the waters east of 60W and N of 25N elsewhere through Sat before
winds diminish. The fronts have ushered in northerly swell
across the forecast waters. Rough seas will cover the waters E
of 60W and over the remainder of the waters N of 25N through the
end of the week, before spreading southward to cover much of the
waters E of 70W by early Sun. Seas will then subside from west
to east into early next week. Very rough seas will move into the
waters N of 27N and E of 70W today through Sun morning. High
pressure will build in the wake of the fronts with improving
conditions starting early next week.
