796 FZNT31 KNHC 241514 OFFN20 Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 1114 AM EDT Sun Aug 24 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...Showers and thunderstorms associated with a tropical wave located about 175 nm east of the Windward Islands have increased since yesterday. However, the wave does not appear to have a surface circulation. This system could still become a tropical depression during the next day or two while it moves quickly westward at about 15 to 20 kt, passing through the Windward and Leeward Islands later today and early Monday. Regardless of development, locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds are likely across portions of the Windward and Leeward Islands today and Monday. The system is expected to reach the central Caribbean Sea on Tuesday, where conditions are forecast to become less favorable for additional development. This wave will bring increasing winds and building seas across the waters E of the Lesser Antilles today, and over most of the east and central Caribbean tonight through Wed. Fresh to strong E to SE winds will pulse across the Gulf of Honduras mainly at night through Tue night. NW to N swell will propagate across the tropical Atlantic waters and move through the Atlantic Passages through Mon. NW Caribbean W of 85W .THIS AFTERNOON...E winds 10 to 20 kt.
