Synopsis for Caribbean Sea and Tropical N Atlantic from 07N to 19N between 55W and 64W .SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends across the Windward Passage to near 10N77W. Fresh to strong N winds and seas to 9 ft follow the front. High pressure will build SE across the western Atlantic Tue night through Fri. This will force the N portion of the front to drift SE across Hispaniola Tue and Wed before gradually dissipating Wed night. Fresh to strong N winds behind the front will become N to NE Tue night through Wed then veer NE Wed night through Thu night, with strongest winds in the lee of Cuba and through the Windward Passage. At the same time, fresh trades are expected in the south-central Caribbean, including the Gulf of Venezuela, increasing to strong at night. NW Caribbean W of 85W .TODAY...N winds 10 to 20 kt.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas .SYNOPSIS...A stalled cold front extends from 31N69W through the Windward Passage. Strong SE to S winds are N of 25N and E of front to 62W. Behind the front, strong NW winds are noted N of 28N and W of 76W. A band of showers and thunderstorms persists along and ahead of the cold front to 65W. Strong high pressure will build into the western Atlantic behind the front Tue night through early Thu to produce fresh to strong winds, gradually diminishing to moderate to fresh Thu through Fri. This will force the front to move SE and reach from 31N66W to Haiti Tue evening, from 31N61W to central Hispaniola Wed evening, then begin to dissipate from 22N60W to NE Hispaniola Thu evening. Winds and seas will slowly subside Fri through Sat as high pressure weakens. ATLC waters from 27N to 31N W of 77W .TODAY...N winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 8 to 10 ft. .TONIGHT...NE winds 15 to 20 kt.
