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

.SYNOPSIS...Tropical Storm Sara is centered near 16.1N 86.0W at
15/1500 UTC or 30 nm SSW of Isla Guanaja Honduras, moving W at
4 kt. Estimated minimum central pressure is 997 mb. Maximum
sustained wind speed is 45 kt with gusts to 55 kt. Some slight
strengthening is possible over the next couple of days as long
as Sara remains offshore of the coast of Honduras. A continued
slow westward motion is expected over the next day or so, but a
west-northwestward motion is forecast to begin by late Saturday.
On the forecast track, the center of Sara will continue to move 
close to the northern coast of Honduras through early Saturday 
before approaching Belize, and ultimately moving onshore in 
Belize during the day on Sunday. Away from the direct impacts 
from Sara, fresh to locally strong E to NE winds will occur over 
the northwestern Caribbean over the next several days. Large N 
swell will continue to support to locally rough seas through the 
Atlantic passages this weekend. A strong cold front slated to 
move through the western Atlantic this weekend will reinforce 
rough seas through the Atlantic passages for the second half of 
this weekend into next week. Fresh to strong E to NE winds look 
to develop on Sun through the Atlantic passages and in the lee of
Cuba, continuing into early next week.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front currently extending from 20N55W to just
north of the Lesser Antilles will progress slowly southeastward
into this evening before dissipating. Large N swell behind the
front will continue to support rough to very rough seas before
subsiding into early Sat. A substantial cold front emerging off
the southeastern U.S. will progress quickly toward the east
through tomorrow, leading to strong to gale-force winds behind
the front for areas north of 26.5N and east 79.5W, with the 
strongest winds occurring north of 29.5N tonight into Sat. By
Sat morning, the front will extend from near Bermuda to the 
central Bahamas. By Sun morning, the front will reach from 30N55W
to near Puerto Rico, but with only fresh winds N of 29N by then.
Very rough seas will follow this second front through the 
weekend, with very high seas possible north of 29 between 65W and
75W on Sat. Rough seas will sweep through the western Atlantic 
waters into early next week. A reinforcing front or trough may 
clip the NE waters Tue and Tue night with increasing winds and 
building seas.
