Synopsis for Caribbean Sea and Tropical N Atlantic from
07N to 19N between 55W and 64W

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front from the Yucatan Channel to Belize will
reach from eastern Cuba to NE Honduras by Fri morning. Fresh to
strong winds and rough seas will immediately follow the front
across the NW Caribbean today and tonight. Winds and seas will
diminish Fri across NW portions as the front reaches the the NE
coast of Cuba to NE Honduras, then weakens from Hispaniola to
the Honduras- Nicaragua border on Sat. High pressure building
north of the region in the wake of the front will support fresh
to strong NE winds in the lee of eastern Cuba and across the
Windward Passage Fri night through Sat evening. Winds and seas
will then diminish there Sat night. Moderate N swell is moving
through the NE Caribbean Passages and adjacent Tropical Atlantic
waters this morning and will gradually subside through early
Fri. Strong trade winds and rough seas will pulse off the coast
of Colombia and the southern coast of Hispaniola Sat and Sun as
the high pressure settles NE of the Bahamas.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...Broad low pressure SE of Bermuda centered near 
26N59W will meander then weaken to a trough and move slowly NE 
and east of 55W Fri night. Large northerly swell dominates the 
waters W of 60W and will gradually subside through early Fri. An 
associated dissipating frontal boundary extends from 31N65W to 
26N54W to the central Lesser Antilles. An area of strong to gale-
force S to SE winds, rough to very rough seas, and scattered 
strong thunderstorms remains active to the east of the front, N 
of 20N. SE gales occurring N of 26N will move N of the area this 
evening, while the front gradually shifts to the east of 55W by 
Fri morning. Farther west, a cold front has moved off the 
northeast Florida coast. This front will reach from Bermuda to 
eastern Cuba by midday Fri, from 31N55W to the Mona Passage by 
Sat morning, then move east of the area early Sun. Strong winds 
and rough seas will follow this front, then diminish from west to
east as high pressure build eastward along roughly 29N, and 
settle NE of the Bahamas Sun and Mon.
