000 FZNT31 KNHC 180300 OFFN20 Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 1100 PM EDT Fri May 17 2024 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...A weak and narrow Atlantic ridge extends westward along 24N into the central Bahamas. The associated pressure gradient between the ridge and lower pressure over SE Mexico is supporting fresh to strong SE winds in the Gulf of Honduras, and fresh to briefly strong E winds in the south-central Caribbean. Strong winds in the Gulf of Honduras will persist through Sun, reaching near gale-force this evening into Sat morning and again Sat night. Fresh to strong winds will pulse at night in the Gulf of Venezuela and offshore Colombia through Sun night. Gentle to moderate winds are expected elsewhere through early next week. High pressure from the eastern Atlantic will ridge westward Wed and Wed night leading to increasing trade winds over most of the central and eastern Caribbean. Dense smoke due to agricultural fires in Central America continues across areas of the northwestern Caribbean, and is significantly reducing visibility across the Gulf of Honduras.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas .SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from 31N62W southwestward to 28N70W then stationary to just north of the NW Bahamas and to Melbourne, Florida. Isolated clusters of scattered showers and thunderstorms continue along the front. The cold front will move slowly eastward, and shift east of 55W early Mon. Active weather is expected to continue ahead of the front through Sun. Moderate to locally fresh winds and moderate seas are expected across most of the area through Sun night as weak high pressure extends E to W roughly along 24N-25N. A new front will sink southward into the waters offshore of Georgia and NE Florida early Mon, and move southeastward and weaken through late Tue. A residual trough may linger from near 30N71W to the central Bahamas Wed and Wed night. ATLC waters from 27N to 31N W of 77W .OVERNIGHT...SE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 ft. .SAT...SW winds 10 to 15 kt.
