Synopsis for the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas
1100 PM EDT Sat Apr 11 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from near 31N60W to
26N63.5W and to the north-central Dominican Republic. Scattered
to numerous showers and thunderstorms are within 240 nm east of
front north of 24N, and within 150 nm east of the front south of
22N. A tight pressure gradient between the front and high pressure
to its west is maintaining fresh to locally strong northeast
winds over the waters west of the front, except north of 29N west
of 74W, where winds are lighter. The fresh to locally strong
northeast winds will expand in coverage from Sun through Mon night
as the northern portion of the frontal boundary transitions back
to a cold front reaching the northeast forecast waters by late
Mon. The winds then diminish to mostly fresh speeds starting Tue
south of 28N as the high pressure weakens, with an associated
ridge near 31N. Rough seas from large northeast swell will linger
into the start of next week between Bermuda and the Bahamas.
