Synopsis for the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas
1109 PM EDT Sat May 17 2025
.SYNOPSIS...The presence of a mid to upper level trough and its
surface related trough that extends from 26N62W to 20N65W is
resulting in unsettled weather conditions, moderate to fresh winds
and moderate seas primarily over the waters S of about 27N
between 58W and 64W. These conditions should gradually improve
through early Mon as they shift ENE. Meanwhile, broad high
pressure extending southwestward from the central Atlantic to
Florida will support gentle winds south of 28N. Moderate to fresh
northeast to east winds will pulse north of Hispaniola and in the
Windward Passage each night into next week. In the long term,
fresh to strong southwesterly winds and building seas are expected
east of northeastern Florida and northeast of the Bahamas around
the middle of next week, in response to a late season cold front
that will move off the southeastern United States coast. This
front may be accompanied by scattered showers and thunderstorms.
Farther south, moderate to fresh northeast to east winds will
pulse north of Hispaniola and in the Windward Passage each night
into next week.
