Synopsis for Caribbean Sea and Tropical N Atlantic from
07N to 19N W of 55W

.SYNOPSIS...Numerous showers and thunderstorms over the NW
Caribbean from near western Cuba to across the Gulf of Honduras
will persist through today before shifting N into the south-
central Gulf of Mexico this weekend. Frequent lighting and
strong gusty winds producing rough seas may accompany this
activity. Otherwise, a weak pressure gradient will support
gentle to occasionally moderate winds across the basin into
early next week. Northeast to east long period swell generated
by Major Hurricane Kirk that is currently over the central
Atlantic well ENE of the northern Leeward Islands may reach the
northern portion of the Tropical N Atlantic waters and portions
of the Leeward Islands on later today.
