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

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure over the central Atlantic will
continue to support moderate to fresh easterly trade winds and
moderate seas over the eastern and central Caribbean through
Thu. The pressure gradient will then weaken leading to moderate
or lighter winds and seas through the Sat. However, northerly
swell from tropical cyclones Humberto and Imelda will reach the
passages of the NE Caribbean allowing for rough seas late Fri
and into the weekend.
