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

.SYNOPSIS...A weak pressure gradient across the Caribbean Sea
will support moderate to fresh winds and moderate seas across
the E and central Caribbean, and light to gentle winds and
slight to moderate seas across the NW and SW portions of the
basin through at least Sat. Looking ahead, a broad area of low
pressure could form late this weekend or early next week over
the western and northwestern Caribbean Sea. Thereafter, gradual
development of this system is possible, and a tropical depression
could form as the system moves slowly to the north or northwest
over the northwestern Caribbean Sea and into the southeastern
Gulf of Mexico through the middle part of next week. There is a
medium chance of tropical cyclone formation in the next seven
days.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...A well-defined area of low pressure located a few
hundred miles to the NW of the remnants of Gordon near 25N54W
has potential for some additional development as it meanders
over the open waters of the central or western Subtropical
Atlantic though early next week. Regardless of development, the
low will continue to affect the NE offshore waters with fresh to
strong winds and rough seas N of 25N and E of 60W through Fri.
Expect pulsing moderate to fresh trades off the coast of
Hispaniola through Fri. Otherwise, a weak cold front will move
off the SE CONUS tonight and slowly move across the waters N of
25N through Mon. A reinforcing front will enter the NW offshores
waters Mon followed by fresh winds and rough seas.
