HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE MOST OF THE
FORECAST REGION INTO MON. FRESH TO STRONG TRADES WILL PULSE
NORTH OF HISPANIOLA DURING THE AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS THROUGH

STRONGER ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO SHIFT EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD
TIGHTENING THE PRESSURE GRADIENT. THE HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN
BEGIN TO WEAKEN WED ALLOWING FOR THE TIGHT GRADIENT TO SLACKEN
