1119 PM EDT TUE AUG 19 2025
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
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE ACROSS
MOST OF THE CARIBBEAN AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC NOW THAT HURRICANE
ERIN, PRESENTLY LOCATED ABOUT 510 NM WEST-SOUTHWEST OF BERMUDA,
CONTINUES TO PULL FARTHER TO THE NORTH-NORTHWEST OF THE REGION
WHILE CENTRAL ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS WEST- SOUTHWESTWARD
IN ITS WAKE. AS A RESULT, TRADES ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO
FRESH TO STRONG SPEEDS ACROSS THE SOUTH-CENTRAL CARIBBEAN
BEGINNING WED AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE THROUGH FRI AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN THE WAKE OF ERIN. MEANWHILE, A TROPICAL WAVE
LOCATED OVER THE CENTRAL TROPICAL ATLANTIC CONTINUES TO PRODUCE
A BROAD AREA OF DISORGANIZED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS APPEAR CONDUCIVE FOR GRADUAL
DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM, AND A TROPICAL DEPRESSION COULD FORM
LATE THIS WEEK OR OVER THE WEEKEND WHILE IT MOVES NEAR OR TO THE
NORTH OF THE NORTHERN LEEWARD ISLANDS.
