000 FZNT31 KNHC 020240 OFFN20 Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 1040 PM EDT Wed May 1 2024 Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast for the Tropical N Atlantic from 07N to 19N W of 55W, the N Atlantic from 19N to 31N W of 55W including the Bahamas, and the Caribbean Sea. Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. Synopsis for Caribbean Sea and Tropical N Atlantic from 07N to 19N W of 55W .SYNOPSIS...A 1020 mb high pressure near Bermuda and its associated ridge supports moderate to fresh easterly trade winds over the central and eastern Caribbean. The ridge is expected to slide eastward and weaken on Thu, reducing the areal coverage and limiting these winds to the SE Caribbean by Thu evening. Scattered showers and thunderstorms currently affecting eastern Cuba, Hispaniola, and adjacent passages will expand in coverage tonight into Thu supported by a surface trough extending along 78W. The pressure gradient between this feature and a weak ridge will also support moderate to fresh NE winds in the lee Cuba, NW Caribbean and the Windward Passage Thu night into Sat night. Gentle to moderate trades are expected basin-wide the remainder forecast period, except for fresh winds in the south-central Caribbean. NW Caribbean W of 85W .OVERNIGHT...E winds 10 to 15 kt.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas .SYNOPSIS...A 1020 mb high pressure near Bermuda and its associated ridge extends across the SW Atlantic and supports moderate to fresh easterly winds S of 25N, including the approaches to the Windward Passage. The ridge is expected to slide eastward and weaken on Thu, while a surface trough develops just N of Hispaniola. The pressure gradient between the ridge and the trough will support pulsing strong E-SE winds E of the trough and moderate to fresh NE-E winds W of the trough. The trough will also amplify the area of showers and tstms currently affecting the southern Bahamas and the Great Bahama Bank. The trough is forecast to become a weak low, which will track NE Fri through Sat, and open back into a trough while exiting the area Sat afternoon.
