ASSOCIATED WITH A THERMAL TROUGH. SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS

A BROAD MID TO UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH E OF THE BAHAMAS
WILL MAINTAIN UNSETTLED WEATHER CONDITIONS GENERALLY TO THE E

MODERATE SEAS WILL FOLLOW IN BEHIND THE FRONT, SUBSIDING LATE
TUE. ELSEWHERE, TRADES ARE FORECAST TO INCREASE OVER MOST OF THE
WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA STARTING MON, INCLUDING THE WATERS
