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

.SYNOPSIS...Tropical Storm Milton is in the western Gulf of
Mexico near 22.9N 95.1W at 11 PM EDT, and is moving
north-northeast at 4 kt. Maximum sustained winds are 40 kt with
gusts to 50 kt, and the minimum central pressure is 1005 mb.
Milton will move to 23.0N 94.6W Sun morning, 23.0N 93.5W Sun
evening, strengthen to a hurricane near 23.1N 92.1W Mon morning,
23.3N 90.5W Mon evening, 23.9N 88.6W Tue morning, and 25.3N
86.4W Tue evening. Milton will change little in intensity as it
moves to 28.2N 82.3W late Wed, with impacts possible in the far
NW Caribbean, including near the Yucatan Channel. Meanwhile,
long period NE to E swells associated with distant and departing
Hurricane Kirk will continue to impact the Tropical N Atlantic
waters and Caribbean passages into Sun morning. Elsewhere,
gentle to moderate breezes and slight to moderate seas will
persist across the basin into early next week. Winds may freshen
in the eastern Caribbean mid-week due to an incoming tropical
wave. Long-period swell associated with Hurricane Leslie,
forecast to remain E of the Tropical N Atlantic, may impact the
