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

.SYNOPSIS...A weak and narrow Atlantic ridge extends westward
along 24N/25N and into the NW Bahamas. The associated pressure
gradient between the ridge and lower pressure over SE Mexico is
supporting fresh to strong E to SE winds across the Gulf of
Honduras, and fresh to locally strong E winds in the south-
central Caribbean. Winds in the Gulf of Honduras will become
moderate to fresh today through Mon. Fresh to strong winds will
pulse at night in the Gulf of Venezuela and offshore Colombia
through early Mon then shift eastward to offshore of NW
Venezuela through Tue night. A vigorous middle to upper-level
trough will dig southward across the western Caribbean Mon night
through Thu, and support very active weather over the central
portions E of 80W Tue through Thu night. Smoke due to
agricultural fires in Central America continues across the Gulf
of Honduras and areas of the northwestern Caribbean.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...A weak frontal trough extends from 31N55W 
southwestward to 27N60W and to 26N67W, while a narrow high 
pressure ridge extends E to W to the south of the trough along 
24N/25N and into the NW Bahamas. The trough will shift eastward 
through this afternoon as it weakens further, allowing the ridge
to build modestly into the region E of 72W Mon and Tue.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will move from the NW waters
southeastward through this evening, ahead of an upper-level 
trough. Behind this feature, a new front will sink southward into
the waters offshore of Georgia and NE Florida early Mon, and 
move southeastward and stall from near 31N72W to SE Florida late 
Tue. A trough will develop southeast of the weakening front and 
extend into the central Bahamas early on Wed, and drift eastward 
through Thu night. Low pressure is expected to form along the 
trough near 24N68W Thu evening and move NE.
