194 FZNT31 KNHC 240232 OFFN20 Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 932 PM EST Thu Jan 23 2025 Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast for the Tropical N Atlantic from 07N to 19N W of 55W, the N Atlantic from 19N to 31N W of 55W including the Bahamas, and the Caribbean Sea. Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. Synopsis for Caribbean Sea and Tropical N Atlantic from 07N to 19N W of 55W .SYNOPSIS...Strong trade winds and rough seas will continue across the south-central Caribbean tonight, with near gale force winds possible late tonight into early Fri. Winds will pulse to near gale force in this area each night into early next week. Fresh to locally strong NE winds are expected across the NW Caribbean, surrounding a trough, through Fri. Elsewhere, a long- period E swell will lead to rough seas through the Atlantic Passages of the Windward Islands into early next week. Otherwise, widespread moderate to fresh trade winds and rough seas will occur across eastern, central and southwestern portions of the basin through Fri. Widespread fresh to strong NE winds and building seas are expected to develop by Fri night in the western Caribbean as a pressure gradient strengthens between persistent troughing in the region and building high pressure over the southeastern United States. Fresh to strong winds will expand into the Atlantic Passages this weekend. Looking ahead, winds may diminish somewhat outside of the central Caribbean early next week as the pressure gradient weakens. NW Caribbean W of 85W .TONIGHT...NE winds 10 to 20 kt.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas .SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong trade winds and rough seas will occur in the open Tropical Atlantic waters south of 23N through early next week. Elsewhere, fresh to locally strong N winds will occur off the coast of Florida through Fri morning surrounding low pressure centered in the western Bahamas. The low will strengthen and accelerate northeastward Fri into this weekend. Widespread fresh to strong N to NW winds and rapidly building seas will occur surrounding the low on Fri, generally north of 20N and west of 65W. An associated cold front will trail the low pressure and move eastward this weekend, producing fresh to strong N to NE winds and rough seas in its wake.
