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 a surface
trough just E of Puerto Rico will support fresh to strong NE to
E winds and rough seas across the offshore waters E of the 
central and southern Bahamas to 55W through Fri evening. The 
trough is also producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms 
over the SE offshore waters NE of Puerto Rico. Some gradual 
development of this system is possible during the next couple of 
days while it moves westward near the Greater Antilles. 
Regardless of development, locally heavy rains are possible 
across the northern Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands, Puerto 
Rico, Hispaniola, and the southeastern Bahamas through Saturday.
