WITHIN 200 NM EAST OF THE COAST OF FLORIDA
SYNOPSIS
HIGH PRESSURE OF 1023 MB IS CENTERED AT 29N70W, WITH
A RIDGE STRETCHING WESTWARD TO ACROSS NORTHERN FLORIDA AND INTO
THE GULF OF AMERICA. THE RIDGE WILL SHIFT SOUTHWARD TO ALONG 28N
TUE AND TO NEAR 26N BY THU AND CHANGE LITTLE INTO SAT. THE
GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN OVER THE SOUTHERN PORTION LEADING TO AN
INCREASE OF THE TRADES FROM THE BAHAMAS EASTWARD. FRESH TRADES
WILL PREVAIL N OF HISPANIOLA AND IN THE APPROACH TO THE WINDWARD
PASSAGE THROUGH THE PERIOD, PULSING TO STRONG SPEEDS EACH NIGHT.
OF NOTE, AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE LOCATED ABOUT 500 MILES SOUTHWEST
OF THE CABO VERDE ISLANDS IS PRODUCING A LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO
GRADUALLY BECOME MORE CONDUCIVE FOR DEVELOPMENT DURING THE NEXT
DAY OR TWO, AND A TROPICAL DEPRESSION WILL LIKELY FORM DURING THE
LATTER HALF OF THIS WEEK WHILE THE SYSTEM MOVES WESTWARD TO WEST-
NORTHWESTWARD ACROSS THE CENTRAL TROPICAL ATLANTIC. THERE IS A
HIGH CHANCE FOR TROPICAL FORMATION OF THIS SYSTEM WITHIN THE NEXT
