MARINE WEATHER HF VOICE BROADCAST
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI, FL
417 AM EDT FRI AUG 22 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
FRESH TO STRONG TRADES AND MODERATE SEAS, LOCALLY
ROUGH, WILL EXIST OVER THE CENTRAL CARIBBEAN THROUGH THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS AS A STRENGTHENING PRESSURE GRADIENT DEVELOPS
BETWEEN LOW PRESSURE OVER COLOMBIA AND BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE IN
THE WAKE OF HURRICANE ERIN IN THE WEST ATLANTIC. FRESH TO STRONG
EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL PULSE NEAR THE GULF OF HONDURAS AT
NIGHT. MODERATE TO FRESH TRADES WILL PULSE IN THE EASTERN
CARIBBEAN AND ACROSS THE APPROACH TO THE WINDWARD PASSAGE WITH
MODERATE OR WEAKER WINDS ELSEWHERE. AN AREA OF DISORGANIZED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH A TROPICAL WAVE IS
LOCATED A COUPLE HUNDRED NAUTICAL MILES ENE OF THE NORTHERN
LEEWARD ISLANDS. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS APPEAR CONDUCIVE FOR
FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM, AND A TROPICAL DEPRESSION IS
LIKELY TO FORM THIS WEEKEND WHILE IT MOVES NORTHWESTWARD AND
THEN NORTHWARD, IN BETWEEN THE LESSER ANTILLES AND BERMUDA. THIS
SYSTEM HAS A HIGH CHANCE OF TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION, AND
REGARDLESS OF DEVELOPMENT, EXPECTING INCREASING WINDS AND
BUILDING SEAS WITH IT.

SYNOPSIS FOR THE THE SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS
SYNOPSIS
HURRICANE ERIN IS CENTERED N OF THE AREA AND
CONTINUES TO MOVE NNE AWAY FROM THE REGION. DESPITE ITS
