SYNOPSIS FOR CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM  
07N TO 19N W OF 55W  
   
SYNOPSIS  
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN STRONG HIGH PRESSURE  
OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC AND A SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDING OVER  
THE SE BAHAMAS AND EASTERN CUBA INTO THE CENTRAL CARIBBEAN  
SUPPORTS FRESH TO STRONG NE WINDS IN THE LEE OF WESTERN CUBA,  
INCLUDING THE YUCATAN CHANNEL. THESE WINDS WILL DIMINISH BY LATE  
TODAY OR TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN THE WAKE ON THE  
TROUGH, ENHANCING THE TRADE WIND FLOW OVER THE CENTRAL CARIBBEAN,  
MAINLY AT NIGHT, TONIGHT THROUGH FRI.

SYNOPSIS FOR THE THE SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS  
   
SYNOPSIS  
A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN STRONG HIGH  
PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC AND A SURFACE TROUGH OVER THE  
SE BAHAMAS AND EASTERN CUBA CONTINUES TO SUPPORT FRESH TO STRONG  
NE WINDS AND ROUGH SEAS OVER MOST OF THE WATERS WEST OF 65W.  
THESE CONDITIONS WILL SLOWLY ABATE BY TONIGHT. FRESH TO LOCALLY  
STRONG E WINDS WILL PREVAIL E OF THE BAHAMAS THROUGH WED AS A
