Synopsis for Caribbean Sea and Tropical N Atlantic from 07N to 19N between 55W and 64W .SYNOPSIS...The pressure gradient between high pressure centered north of the basin and lower pressure over South America will support fresh to strong winds offshore Colombia through the forecast period, pulsing to near-gale force at night. Winds near the coast of Colombia could reach gale force Sun night. Southeast winds will increase to fresh to strong in the northwestern Caribbean and Gulf of Honduras tonight into early Sat as a cold front remains north of the area. Looking ahead, southerly winds in the northwestern Caribbean are expected to increase again early next week as a strong cold front traverses the Gulf of Mexico. Winds diminish Wed and Wed night as high pressure shifts E across the central Gulf of Mexico. NW Caribbean W of 85W .TONIGHT...SE winds 10 to 20 kt. Seas 5 to 7 ft. .SAT...SE winds 10 to 20 kt.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas .SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from near 31N56W to 24N72W, and is a stationary front from there to near the lower Florida Keys. The front will extend from near 25N55W to 22N65W and stationary to South Florida this evening, then gradually dissipate Sat from 23N55W to 23N65W. Fresh to strong winds and rough seas on both sides of the front will continue to impact the waters N of 27N and E of about 70W tonight, with the strong winds confined to east of 58W. Southerly winds offshore Florida will increase to strong late tonight and to gale force on Sat off northern Florida in advance of a stronger cold front that is expected to move across the waters off northeast Florida by late Sat. This front is forecast to reach from near 31N74W to South Florida early Sun, from near 31N57W to the central Bahamas early Mon and from near 23N55W to 23N70W early Tue. On Sat night through Mon, after the gales end, fresh to strong winds are expected on either side of this front N of 29N as it moves eastward. Looking ahead to Tue and Tue night, gale force southerly winds are expected to precede yet another strong cold front over the waters east of NE Florida, while strong to near gale force southerly winds are likely elsewhere N of 27N and W of 65W. By late Wed, this next front will be weakening as it extends from near 31N69W to the central Bahamas and to west-central Cuba. Fresh to strong southerly winds are expected at that time N of 28N between the front and 60W, and along with rough seas E and NE of the Bahamas.
