Synopsis for the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas
240 PM EST Thu Jan 29 2026
.SYNOPSIS...Scattered thunderstorms are active near a 1014 mb
low pressure center at 28N60W, which is along a stationary front
reaching from 31N47W to the Windward Passage. Fresh to strong NW
winds and rough seas follow the front north of 29N, and fresh to
strong SW winds and rough seas are ahead of the front. A cold
front will move between northeast Florida and Bermuda tonight, but
stall early Fri and lift north of the area through late Fri ahead
of a complex low pressure moving into the Carolina coast. This
will bring an unusually strong cold front that will move off
northeast Florida Sat morning. The associated complex low pressure
is forecast to deepen rapidly across the NW Atlantic Sat through
Sun, inducing a very large area of westerly gale-force winds
covering the local waters N of 23.5N, and the central Bahamas,
Sat through Sun evening, before lifting N of the area Sun night.
The front is expected to reach from 31N73W to eastern Cuba Sat
evening, from 31N60W to eastern Hispaniola Sun evening, then begin
to weaken and stall from 27N55W to eastern Puerto Rico Mon
evening.
