MARINE WEATHER HF VOICE BROADCAST
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI, FL
418 PM 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 TO LOCALLY ROUGH
SEAS WILL PREVAIL OVER THE CENTRAL CARIBBEAN SAT NIGHT THROUGH
THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AS CENTRAL ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
W-SW ACROSS THE WESTERN ATLANTIC, IN THE WAKE OF EXITING
HURRICANE ERIN. FRESH TO STRONG E TO SE WINDS WILL PULSE ACROSS
THE GULF OF HONDURAS AT NIGHT. MODERATE TO FRESH TRADES ARE
EXPECTED 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 IS LOCATED WITHIN
A COUPLE HUNDRED NAUTICAL MILES NE 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.

SYNOPSIS FOR THE THE SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS
SYNOPSIS
HURRICANE ERIN CONTINUES TO MOVE NE AWAY FROM THE
REGION. LARGE NORTHERLY SWELL GENERATED BY ERIN WILL CONTINUE TO
AFFECT THE W ATLANTIC WATERS THROUGH THE NEXT FEW DAYS. IN THE
WAKE OF ERIN, CENTRAL ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD W-SW
TOWARD THE CENTRAL BAHAMAS AND THE STRAITS OF FLORIDA. AN AREA

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.
REGARDLESS OF FORMATION, GALE-FORCE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
ACROSS THE EASTERN SEMICIRCLE OF THIS LOW BEGINNING SUN MORNING.
