Synopsis for Caribbean Sea and Tropical N Atlantic from 07N to 19N between 55W and 64W .SYNOPSIS...High pressure north of the area will support fresh to near-gale force winds across the central Caribbean through Thu, pulsing to gale force off the coast of Colombia at night. A cold front moving N of the area Thu evening through Sun will reduce the pressure gradient in the region and diminish the wind speeds to fresh to strong through Fri evening and gentle to fresh the remainder of the weekend. Fresh to locally strong winds and long- period NE swell are expected across the Tropical N Atlantic waters through Wed evening. The swell will subside early on Fri.
