MARINE WEATHER HF VOICE BROADCAST
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI, FL
938 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 THROUGH MON NIGHT. MODERATE TO
FRESH TRADES ARE EXPECTED IN THE EASTERN CARIBBEAN AND ACROSS
THE APPROACH TO THE WINDWARD PASSAGE, INCREASING TO FRESH TO
STRONG LATE IN THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK IN THE EASTERN
CARIBBEAN. MAINLY MODERATE OR WEAKER WINDS ARE FORECAST
ELSEWHERE. MEANWHILE, SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH
A TROPICAL WAVE LOCATED ABOUT MIDWAY BETWEEN AFRICA AND THE
WINDWARD ISLANDS REMAIN DISORGANIZED. WHILE THERE IS STILL SOME
CHANCE THAT A SHORT-LIVED TROPICAL DEPRESSION COULD FORM DURING
THE NEXT DAY OR SO, THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH A
LESS CONDUCIVE ENVIRONMENT ON SATURDAY. THE WAVE COULD REACH A
SLIGHTLY MORE FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT LATE THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK AS IT APPROACHES THE WINDWARD ISLANDS.

SYNOPSIS FOR THE THE SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS
SYNOPSIS
LARGE NORTHERLY SWELL GENERATED BY NOW EXTRATROPICAL
CYCLONE 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. MEANWHILE, SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE
NOT BECOME ANY BETTER ORGANIZED THIS EVENING IN ASSOCIATION WITH
A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE, AL90, LOCATED A COUPLE HUNDRED
NAUTICAL MILES NORTHEAST OF THE NORTHERN LEEWARD ISLANDS.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS APPEAR CONDUCIVE FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT
OF THIS SYSTEM, AND A TROPICAL STORM IS VERY LIKELY TO FORM THIS
WEEKEND WHILE IT MOVES NORTHWESTWARD AND THEN NORTHWARD OVER THE
SOUTHWESTERN ATLANTIC. 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 WITH BUILDING SEAS. A SLOW MOVING COLD
FRONT MAY MOVE OFF THE SE U.S. INTO THE NW WATERS BY THE MIDDLE
OF NEXT WEEK.
