Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.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.
