Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...The pressure gradient between strengthening high 
pressure ridging over the western Atlantic and weakening low 
pressure of 1015 mb located over the far southeastern waters
near 20N62W supports moderate to fresh north to northeast winds 
over the eastern part of the area south of 27N. The low pressure 
is forecast to move to near 19N62W by early this afternoon, and 
weaken to a trough near the Leeward Islands this evening. A weak 
cold front will move across the northern waters today and 
tonight. Moderate to fresh winds and building seas are expected 
in the wake of the front. Strengthening high pressure north of 
the area will result in increasing easterly winds and building 
seas, mainly across the waters S of 27N, Wed night through early 
Fri and S of 25N Fri night.
