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

.SYNOPSIS...Moderate to fresh easterly trade winds and moderate
seas are expected over much of the Caribbean through this
weekend as low pressure prevails over the south-central basin
and high pressure drifts eastward in the central Atlantic.
Locally strong winds may pulse offshore of Colombia late
tonight. Mainly moderate trade winds are then expected early
next week. Rough seas in E swell will prevail east of the Lesser
Antilles and through the Atlantic Passages into early next week.
Looking ahead, a cold front may approach the northwestern
Caribbean early next week, allowing for generally tranquil
marine conditions in the region.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...A weakening cold front is slated to move through the
central Atlantic on Fri, leading to fresh NW to NE winds and
rough seas north of 27N and east of 65W through Fri night. A low
pressure system moving through the southern United States will
support fresh to locally strong SW winds offshore of northern
Florida by Fri morning, with fresh to strong winds and locally
rough seas expanding eastward into the central Atlantic this
weekend. A cold front associated with this system will push
offshore of the southeastern U.S. this weekend, leading to
locally fresh N to NE winds in the wake of the front offshore of
Florida. Looking ahead, a complex low pressure system and strong
cold front may move through the northwestern tropical Atlantic
by early next week, supporting widespread fresh to strong winds
and building seas ahead of and behind the front.
