Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas .SYNOPSIS...The pressure gradient between a broad ridge over the central and western subtropical Atlantic waters and Hurricane Rafael in the SE Gulf will support fresh to strong E to SE winds and rough seas across the Florida adjacent waters and offshore waters N and E of the Bahamas through early Thu. Winds and seas will gradually diminish to gentle to moderate speeds by Fri. A trough of low pressure is producing an area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms a couple hundred miles east-northeast of the northern Leeward Islands. This system is expected to move generally westward during the next few days, and an area of low pressure could form near the northern Leeward or Virgin Islands tonight or Thursday. Afterward, some gradual development of this system is possible toward the end of the week and into the weekend while it moves near or to the north of the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, and approaches the Southeast Bahamas.
