Synopsis for Caribbean Sea and Tropical N Atlantic from 07N to 19N between 55W and 64W .SYNOPSIS...Strong NE winds in the Windward Passage will continue through tonight. Strong high pressure N of the area will continue to bring a large area of strong trade winds across the central Caribbean Sea through Sun, with near-gale force winds at night near the coast of Colombia. Looking ahead, the next cold front will enter the northwest Caribbean early Mon, followed by fresh N to NE winds with seas building to 9 to 11 ft in the Yucatan Channel. The front will stall over the NW Caribbean early in the week before retreating back north of the basin as a warm front by mid-week. NW Caribbean W of 85W .TODAY...E winds 10 to 15 kt.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas .SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from near 22N55W to 21N70W. The front will remain nearly stationary along 20N-21N today. Strong high pressure N of the area will push the front farther south on Sun toward the northern Leeward Islands as a dissipating front. The pressure gradient between the strong high pressure along 31N and lower pressure associated with the stalled front will continue to produce fresh to strong NE to E trade winds south of 24N through Sun. On Sun, fresh to strong southerly flow will set up over the waters east of northeast Florida to about 70W in advance of the next cold front. This cold front is expected to move into the NW forecast waters late Sun. Strong to near-gale force winds are likely on both sides of the front, with brief gales possible Sun night N of 29N between NE Florida and 73W. Seas will build ahead and behind the cold front. The front is forecast to stall late Mon night from Bermuda to central Cuba. By mid- week, the front is expected to move northwestward as a warm front. The pressure gradient between very strong high pressure north of the area and lower pressure associated with the warm front may induce fresh to strong NE to E winds and building seas to the east of Florida by mid-week ATLC waters from 27N to 31N W of 77W ...GALE WARNING... .TODAY...SE winds 10 to 15 kt.
