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
 
MODERATE TO LOCALLY FRESH N TO NE WINDS WILL PREVAIL  
ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE CARIBBEAN THROUGH SUN AS A  
WEAKENING COLD FRONT DRIFTS SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE SE BAHAMAS AND  
ADJACENT ATLANTIC THIS WEEKEND. ELSEWHERE, MODERATE TO LOCALLY  
FRESH TRADES ARE EXPECTED OVER THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN  
CARIBBEAN. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE EASTERN UNITED  
STATES AND WESTERN ATLANTIC EARLY NEXT WEEK. A STRENGTHENING  
PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE HIGH PRESSURE AND THE LINGERING  
COLD FRONT JUST N OF THE CARIBBEAN WILL LEAD TO FRESH TO LOCALLY  
STRONG NE TO E WINDS ACROSS MUCH OF THE BASIN SUN NIGHT THROUGH  
TUE, WITH WINDS AND SEAS THEN GRADUALLY DIMINISHING THROUGH MID  
WEEK.

SYNOPSIS FOR THE THE SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS  
   
SYNOPSIS
 
A COLD FRONT EXTENDS FROM 31N65W TO THE CENTRAL  
BAHAMAS AND EAST-CENTRAL CUBA THIS AFTERNOON, AND WILL PROGRESS  
SLOWLY SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. FARTHER EAST, A  
BROAD RIDGE IS DRIFT EASTWARD, AND WILL PRODUCE MODERATE TO  
FRESH S TO SE WINDS ALONG THE W PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE,  
GENERALLY NORTH OF 20N AND EAST OF 60W THROUGH TONIGHT. SOUTH OF  
20N, MODERATE TO BRIEFLY FRESH TRADES WILL PREVAIL INTO THE  
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. AN INVERTED TROUGH IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP  
EAST OF THE BAHAMAS SUN THEN DRIFT WESTWARD TO ALONG THE EAST  
COAST OF FLORIDA BY LATE MON. A LOW CENTER IS LIKELY TO FORM NEAR  
THE NE FLORIDA COAST MON NIGHT AND SHIFT NORTHWARD. A STRONG  
HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL SHIFT INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC DURING  
THIS TIME. THE TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE HIGH  
PRESSURE, THE LINGERING FRONT, AND THE TROUGH WILL INDUCE A BROAD  
SWATH OF FRESH TO STRONG NE TO E WINDS AND VERY ROUGH SEAS TO  
THE EAST OF THE BAHAMAS MON AFTERNOON, SHIFTING WESTWARD ACROSS  
THE BAHAMAS THROUGH TUE, THEN QUICKLY DIMINISH. THE COLD FRONT IS  
EXPECTED TO ALIGN NEARLY W TO E ALONG ABOUT 21N BY TUE NIGHT  
BEFORE DISSIPATING ON WED.
