Synopsis for the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas
923 AM EDT Wed Apr 8 2026

.SYNOPSIS...A slow-moving cold front extends from 31N70W to a 
1012 mb low pressure centered near 28N72W to the central Bahamas.
The front will drift slowly eastward, before stalling into the 
weekend from just east of Bermuda to eastern Cuba. The low will 
move NE along the boundary and lift N of the area near Bermuda Thu
night. Thunderstorms with gusty winds will impact waters along 
and east of the cold front through at least Thu. The pressure 
gradient between strong high pressure to the north and the front 
is supporting NE gales offshore NE Florida, mainly N of 28N and W 
of 72W. These gales will continue through tonight before 
gradually diminishing as the low pressure weakens and begins to 
move N of the region. Very rough seas have been generated by these
gales, and seas of up to 20 ft are forecast in the gale area 
today into tonight. The very rough seas will linger across 
portions of the waters N of the Bahamas into Thu night, with rough
seas in N swell impacting much of the waters N of 25N into the 
weekend. With the stationary front lingering over the basin 
through the weekend, NE winds W of the boundary will be slow to 
diminish through the period.
