Synopsis for Caribbean Sea and Tropical N Atlantic from
07N to 19N W of 55W

.SYNOPSIS...A strong pressure gradient from the Bermuda High to
the Colombian Low will continue to produce fresh to near gale
trades across the Caribbean through Sat afternoon. Winds will
reach gale-force off Colombia once again tonight. From Sat night
through early next week, the Bermuda High weakens contributing
toward reduced winds over the basin. However, strong trades will
still continue north of Colombia, south of Hispaniola, and over
the Gulf of Honduras on Sun. Rough to very rough seas will
accompany the winds. By Mon and Tue as the weakened Bermuda High
shifts eastward, trades across the Caribbean will be reduced to
moderate to fresh. A cold front may reach the northwest
Caribbean Tue with winds shifting from southeasterly to
northerly.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

High weakens on Sat through early next week, fresh to strong
trades will be restricted to the SE Bahamas and the Windward
Passage. On Sat night, a large N swell will start impacting the
waters east of 60W and will subside through late Tue. Fresh to
strong S winds will develop off the coast of northeast Florida
Sun night and Mon ahead of a cold front moving through the
southeastern United States. The front is forecast to move off of
the coast Mon night, and reach from Bermuda to eastern Cuba by
mid week, followed by fresh to strong NE winds and moderate to
rough seas.
