000 FZNT31 KNHC 191346 OFFN20 Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 946 AM EDT Mon May 19 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...High pressure centered just NE of the Bahamas extends a weak ridge into the NE Gulf of America, while a surface trough extends from the SW N Atlantic to Puerto Rico. This pattern will yield generally moderate trades across the basin west of 75W through Tue, except for fresh to strong E to SE winds pulsing during the late afternoon through night near the Gulf of Honduras throughout the week. Moderate to locally fresh trades will prevail across the basin E of 75W through Tue. The surface trough north of Puerto Rico will weaken and drift NE during the next few days, and gradually allow high pressure to strengthen north of the basin. Look for increasing trades and building seas across the eastern part of the basin beginning Tue night, expanding westward to the central part of the basin by Wed night. Moderate trades and seas will prevail in the Tropical N Atlantic, freshening by the end of the week. NW Caribbean W of 85W .THIS AFTERNOON...SE winds 10 to 20 kt.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas .SYNOPSIS...Deep-layered low pressure extends from 25N62W across Puerto Rico and into the NE Caribbean, and is supporting scattered showers and thunderstorms south of 27N between 55W and 62W. An associated surface trough also persists in this same area, while high pressure is just northeast of the Bahamas. This middle to upper-level low pressure will gradually weaken through Tue as it shifts eastward, allowing for the surface trough to weaken and shift NE, and showers and thunderstorms shifting eastward ahead of it. High pressure located to the west of the trough along 62W will support light to gentle winds over most of the area west of 63W through the period, except for moderate westerly winds north of 28N due to a passing weak cold front. Moderate to fresh NE to E winds will pulse north of Hispaniola and in the Windward Passage each night for the next few days. Looking ahead, fresh to strong SW to W winds and building seas are expected over the NW portion of the area and northeast of the Bahamas Tue night and Wed, ahead of a cold front moving off the southeastern United States coast Wed night. The front will reach from near 31N70W to the NW Bahamas by late Thu, then weaken as it reaches from near 31N68W to just E of the NW Bahamas by Sat morning.
