Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast for the Tropical N Atlantic
from 07N to 19N W of 55W, the N Atlantic from 19N to
31N W of 55W including the Bahamas, and the Caribbean Sea.

Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average
height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be
more than twice the significant wave height.

Synopsis for Caribbean Sea and Tropical N Atlantic from
07N to 19N W of 55W

.SYNOPSIS...A weak and narrow Atlantic ridge extends westward
along 24N into the central Bahamas. The associated pressure
gradient between the ridge and lower pressure over SE Mexico is
supporting fresh to strong SE winds in the Gulf of Honduras, and
fresh to briefly strong E winds in the south-central Caribbean.
Strong winds in the Gulf of Honduras will persist through Sun,
reaching near gale-force this evening into Sat morning and again
Sat night. Fresh to strong winds will pulse at night in the Gulf
of Venezuela and offshore Colombia through Sun night. Gentle to
moderate winds are expected elsewhere through early next week.
High pressure from the eastern Atlantic will ridge westward Wed
and Wed night leading to increasing trade winds over most of the
central and eastern Caribbean. Dense smoke due to agricultural
fires in Central America continues across areas of the
northwestern Caribbean, and is significantly reducing visibility
across the Gulf of Honduras.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from 31N62W southwestward to
28N70W then stationary to just north of the NW Bahamas and to 
Melbourne, Florida. Isolated clusters of scattered showers and 
thunderstorms continue along the front. The cold front will move
slowly eastward, and shift east of 55W early Mon. Active weather
is expected to continue ahead of the front through Sun. Moderate
to locally fresh winds and moderate seas are expected across
most of the area through Sun night as weak high pressure extends
E to W roughly along 24N-25N. A new front will sink southward 
into the waters offshore of Georgia and NE Florida early Mon, and
move southeastward and weaken through late Tue. A residual 
trough may linger from near 30N71W to the central Bahamas Wed and
Wed night.
