Synopsis for Caribbean Sea, and Tropical N Atlantic from 07N to
19N W of 55W
1051 PM EDT Fri May 17 2024

.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.
