NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL
517 PM EDT Thu May 2 2024
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...High pressure north north of the area supports
moderate to fresh trade winds over the central and eastern
Caribbean. The gradient will loosen some tonight leading for
these winds to be confined to the southeastern Caribbean.
Moderate to fresh northeast winds are expected in the lee of
Cuba, northwestern Caribbean and in the Windward Passage tonight
and Fri night and in the Windward Passage Sat night and Sun
night. Gentle to moderate trade winds are expected over the area
through the forecast period, except for mostly fresh winds in
the south-central Caribbean. The interaction between a trough
along 80W/81W south of 20N with the base of a western Atlantic
upper-level trough that extends into the western Caribbean has
resulted in the development of scattered showers and
thunderstorms from the eastern tip of Cuba to the Windward
Passage. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are over
the waters between eastern Cuba and Jamaica. All of this
activity is translating east-northeastward.

Synopsis for the the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas
.SYNOPSIS...The gradient between high pressure over the western
Atlantic and relatively lower pressure in the Caribbean Sea is
allowing for generally moderate to fresh east winds to be south
of about 25N, including the approaches to the Windward Passage.
A surface trough is expected to soon form north-northeast of
Hispaniola. The pressure gradient between the ridge and the
trough will support pulsing strong east to southeast east of the
trough, and moderate to fresh northeast to east winds west of the
trough. Presently, an upper trough is over the western Atlantic.
Numerous showers and thunderstorms are east of this trough. The
trough is expected to help promote the formation of weak low
pressure along the soon to form surface trough on Fri. The low
will track east-northeastward Fri through Sat, and weaken back
into a trough while exiting the area on Sun. High pressure will
then take precedence over the entire area early next week.
Moderate to fresh south winds are forecast to develop over the
waters east of northeastern Florida Tue and Tue night.
