Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL
504 AM EDT Thu Aug 21 2025

Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast for the Tropical N Atlantic
from 07N to 19N W of 55W, the N Atlantic from 19N to
31N W of 55W including the Bahamas, and the Caribbean Sea.

Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average
height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be
more than twice the significant wave height.

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

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to locally strong trades and moderate seas
seas will exist over the central and eastern Caribbean through
Fri as a strengthening pressure gradient develops between low
pressure over Colombia and building high pressure in the wake of
Hurricane Erin in the western Atlantic. Elsewhere, fresh to
occasionally strong east to southeast winds will pulse in the
Gulf of Honduras beginning tonight. Long period northwest to
north swell from Hurricane Erin will begin to impact the
Tropical N Atlantic zones from late on Fri through Mon. Looking
ahead, shower and thunderstorm activity has become a bit more
concentrated in association with a tropical wave located a few
hundred miles east of the Leeward Islands. Environmental
conditions appear conducive for further development of this
system, and a tropical depression is likely to form this weekend
while it moves near or to the north of the northern Leeward
Islands.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...Hurricane Erin is located centered north of the area
near 34.2N 72.1W at 5 AM EDT, and is moving north-northeast at
15 kt. Maximum sustained winds are 90 kt with gusts to 110 kt,
and the minimum central pressure is 945 mb. Erin will will
continue to pull NNE far away from the region through the end of
the week while slowly weakening. Long period northerly swells
generated by Erin will affect just about the entire forecast
area through the next few days. In the wake of Erin, central
Atlantic high pressure will build WSW toward the central Bahamas
and the Straits of Florida through the period. Looking ahead, a
tropical wave located several hundred miles east of the Leeward
Islands is producing a broad area of disorganized showers and
thunderstorms. Environmental conditions appear conducive for
gradual development of this system, and a tropical depression is
likely to form by this weekend while it moves near or to the
north of the northern Leeward Islands.
