SYNOPSIS FOR THE THE SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS
SYNOPSIS
A STATIONARY FRONT EXTENDS FROM 31N65W SOUTHWESTWARD
TO SOUTH FLORIDA. FRESH TO OCCASIONALLY STRONG E TO NE WINDS
WILL OCCUR WEST OF 70W THROUGH SUN MORNING AS THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT PREVAILS BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER THE
NORTHEASTERN UNITED STATES AND TROPICAL STORM MELISSA IN THE
CARIBBEAN. ROUGH SEAS WILL ACCOMPANY THESE WINDS OFFSHORE OF
CENTRAL FLORIDA AND NORTH AND EAST OF THE BAHAMAS. WINDS AND SEAS
WILL SLOWLY DIMINISH SUN INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY LIFTS NORTHWARD. BY MIDWEEK, FRESH TO STRONG S TO SW
WINDS WILL DEVELOP NORTH OF 27N AND EAST OF 75W AS A LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM PUSHES OFF THE COAST OF THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES.
ELSEWHERE, TROPICAL STORM MELISSA IS STRENGTHENING IN THE CENTRAL
CARIBBEAN. RAPID INTENSIFICATION IS FORECAST, AND MELISSA IS
FORECAST TO BECOME A HURRICANE LATER TODAY AND A MAJOR HURRICANE
BY SUNDAY. ON THE FORECAST TRACK, MELISSA COULD BE NEAR OR OVER
EASTERN CUBA BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK BEFORE EMERGING INTO THE
WESTERN ATLANTIC. INCREASING WINDS AND BUILDING SEAS ARE EXPECTED
