Synopsis for Caribbean Sea and Tropical N Atlantic from 07N to 19N W of 55W .SYNOPSIS...Widespread moderate to fresh E to NE winds will prevail across the southwestern, central and eastern Caribbean this weekend, with locally strong winds developing each night offshore of Colombia, through the Atlantic Passages and downwind of Hispaniola. Locally rough seas are expected near strong winds. A long-period E swell will promote rough seas through the Atlantic Passages tonight through the middle of next week. Fresh to locally strong SE to E winds will develop Sat night in the northwestern Caribbean ahead of a cold front moving southeastward through the Gulf of Mexico. Looking ahead, fresh to strong E winds and building seas will occur over much of the basin early next week ahead of the aforementioned cold front approaching the northwestern Caribbean.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas .SYNOPSIS...Rough to very rough seas, associated with a pair of cold fronts in the central Atlantic, will prevail north of 20N and east of 65W tonight, and rough seas will be reinforced north of 28N and east of 75W by swell from complex storm systems north of the area. Fresh to strong W to NW winds, associated with a trough extending from the aforementioned lows, will occur north of 28N and east of 72W tonight, with winds expanding farther east as the system treks eastward. Elsewhere, south of 22N, moderate to fresh trade winds will prevail through early next week, with winds pulsing to strong speeds east of the Windward Islands at times. Fresh to locally strong S winds and rough seas are expected to develop off the coast of Florida and through the northern Bahamas late tonight as low pressure forms off the coast of the southeastern U.S., before the low moves northeastward this weekend. Another cold front, slated to move into the northwestern waters on Sun will promote fresh to strong SW to NW winds and rough seas north of 27N. Looking ahead, a very strong cold front is expected to move off the southeastern U.S. coast early next week, followed by strong to near-gale force N winds and building seas north of Cuba and west of 70W.
