Maximum sustained winds are 40 kt with gusts to 50 kt, and the minimum central pressure is 996 mb. Rafael will move to 17.6N 78.3W Tue morning, 19.4N 79.9W Tue evening, strengthen to a hurricane near 21.4N 81.6W Wed morning, 23.3N 83.1W Wed evening, 24.6N 84.3W Thu morning, and 25.4N 85.3W Thu evening. Rafael will change little in intensity as it moves to near 26.6N 87.6W late Fri. Otherwise, a trough extends from Cuba to 26N63W. The pressure gradient between the trough and strong high pressure north of the region is supporting strong to near gale- force easterly winds and rough to very rough seas across the waters north of the trough. The trough will shift westward through Tue, as building high pressure north of the area follows a cold front moving across the western Atlantic. The front will become stationary and weaken along 22N by Wed. ATLC waters from 27N to 31N W of 77W .TONIGHT...E winds 20 to 25 kt. Seas 9 to 12 ft. .TUE...E winds 15 to 25 kt.
