Synopsis for the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas
1010 AM EST Thu Jan 29 2026
.SYNOPSIS...Scattered thunderstorms are active near a 1014 mb low
pressure center at 27N61W, which is along a stationary front
reaching from 31N45W 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. High
pressure across the Gulf of America will build eastward into the W
Atlantic and freshen winds behind the lingering front today and
tonight, and nudge the front southward as a weak cold front to
near the Atlantic approaches to the Windward Passage. An unusually
strong cold front will enter the western Atlantic waters Sat
morning. An 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.
