SYNOPSIS
FRESH TO LOCALLY STRONG TRADES AND MODERATE SEAS
SEAS WILL EXIST OVER THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN CARIBBEAN TONIGHT
THROUGH FRI AS A STRENGTHENING PRESSURE GRADIENT DEVELOPS
BETWEEN LOW PRESSURE OVER COLOMBIA AND BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE IN
THE WAKE OF HURRICANE ERIN IN THE WESTERN ATLANTIC. ELSEWHERE,
FRESH TO OCCASIONALLY STRONG EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL PULSE
