MARINE WEATHER HF VOICE BROADCAST  
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI, FL  
1019 AM EST SUN DEC 15 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  
A STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL CONTINUE TO FORCE  
FRESH TO STRONG NE WINDS IN THE LEE OF CUBA, AND OVER THE NW  
CARIBBEAN THROUGH MON MORNING. A BROAD SURFACE TROUGH OVER THE  
SW N ATLANTIC WATERS EXTENDING INTO THE CARIBBEAN THROUGH  
HISPANIOLA WILL DRIFT WESTWARD ACROSS THE CENTRAL CARIBBEAN  
TODAY WHILE WEAKENING. THIS TROUGH WILL CAUSE THE PRESSURE  
GRADIENT TO RELAX ACROSS MOST OF THE CARIBBEAN, ALLOWING FOR  
GENTLE TO MODERATE TRADES ACROSS EASTERN AND CENTRAL BASIN  
THROUGH MON. LOOKING AHEAD, A BUILDING RIDGE N OF THE AREA WILL  
ENHANCE THE TRADE WIND FLOW OVER THE CENTRAL CARIBBEAN TO FRESH  
TO STRONG SPEEDS TUE NIGHT THROUGH THU.
