MARINE WEATHER HF VOICE BROADCAST  
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI, FL  
420 AM EST SAT DEC 14 2024  
 
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
 
STRONG RIDGING OVER THE SE UNITED STATES WILL  
CONTINUE TO FORCE FRESH TO STRONG NE WINDS ACROSS THE CENTRAL  
AND W CARIBBEAN INCLUDING THROUGH THE WINDWARD PASSAGE UNTIL  
EARLY SUN. A BROAD SURFACE TROUGH OVER THE SW N ATLANTIC WATERS  
EXTENDING INTO THE NE CARIBBEAN WILL GRADUALLY MOVE WESTWARD TO  
THE SW CARIBBEAN THROUGH MON. THIS TROUGH WILL CAUSE THE  
PRESSURE GRADIENT TO RELAX ACROSS MOST OF THE CARIBBEAN,  
ALLOWING FOR GENTLE TO MODERATE TRADES ACROSS THE BASIN THROUGH  
TUE. LOOKING AHEAD, A BUILDING RIDGE MAY ENHANCE THE TRADES OVER  
THE CENTRAL CARIBBEAN TO FRESH TO STRONG SPEEDS TUE NIGHT  
THROUGH WED NIGHT.

SYNOPSIS FOR THE THE SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS  
   
SYNOPSIS
 
A WEAKENING STATIONARY FRONT THAT EXTENDS FROM JUST  
EAST OF BERMUDA TO THE CENTRAL BAHAMAS OFFSHORE WATERS SHOULD  
DISSIPATE LATER THIS MORNING. A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN  
A STRONG RIDGE BUILDING IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT AND A WESTWARD  
MOVING TROUGH, CURRENTLY N OF PUERTO RICO, IS SUPPORTING STRONG  
TO GALE-FORCE NE WINDS AND VERY ROUGH SEAS OVER ALL OF THE WATERS  
WEST OF 65W. GALE FORCE WINDS BETWEEN THE WATERS OF THE BAHAMAS  
AND BERMUDA WILL PREVAIL THROUGH SUN. CONDITIONS WILL GRADUALLY  
IMPROVE LATE SUN AND MON, AND BY TUE AND WED WINDS WILL BE  
REDUCED TO MODERATE TO FRESH ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA.
