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

.SYNOPSIS...Tropical Storm Sara is centered near 16.2N 86.2W at
15/2100 UTC or 30 nm SW of Isla Guanaja Honduras, moving W at
2 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 day or so, as long as
the system remains offshore. A continued slow westward motion is
expected over the next day, followed by a more west-
northwestward motion beginning late Saturday. On the forecast
track, the center of Sara will continue to move near the
northern coast of Honduras through the next day before
approaching Belize, and then move 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 that currently extends from 31N46W to 
19N59W, and a stationary front that then spans areas just north 
of the Greater Antilles westward into Cuba, will meander 
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 28.5N 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 28N 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.
