Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas .SYNOPSIS...Fresh to locally strong E winds and rough seas occurring north of a shear line, located to the north of the Greater Antilles, will diminish by tonight into Sat morning. A trough of low pressure located near Puerto Rico continues to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Some gradual development of this system is possible during the next couple of days while it moves westward near the Greater Antilles. There is a low chance of development in the next 48 hours and the next seven days. Looking ahead, another strong cold front will progress into the forecast waters on Sat, leading to widespread fresh to strong NE to E winds and rough to very rough seas in N swell north of the Greater Antilles through this weekend. The N swell will continue to progress southeastward early next week. Elsewhere, moderate to locally fresh E trades and moderate to rough seas will occur east of the Windward Islands through the forecast period.
