Synopsis for Caribbean Sea and Tropical N Atlantic from

.SYNOPSIS...Tropical Storm Sara is near 16.3N 86.5W at 10 AM
EST, and is moving west-northwest at 2 kt. Maximum sustained
winds are 40 kt with gusts to 50 kt, and the minimum central
pressure is 999 mb. Sara will move to 16.4N 86.9W this evening,
16.9N 88.0W Sun morning, move inland and weaken to a tropical
depression near 17.8N 89.6W Sun evening, inland to 19.2N 90.8W
Mon morning, and dissipate Mon evening. Away from the direct
impacts from Sara, fresh to strong easterly winds will occur
over the northwestern Caribbean through Mon. Large N swell will
continue to support to rough seas through the Atlantic passages
this weekend. A strong cold front moving 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. A strong cold front may also slip SE of
the Yucatan Channel by mid-week.
