coast. Winds then generally become southeast at gentle to

moderate speeds across the basin through midweek, with slight to

moderate seas, with the exception of fresh to strong winds

pulsing off NW Yucatan from the late afternoons and into the

night time hours due to local effects associated with a thermal

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida



.SYNOPSIS...High pressure will continue to dominate most of the

forecast region this weekend into early next week. Fresh to

strong trades will pulse north of Hispaniola during the afternoons

and evenings going into early next week. The western part of a

backdoor cold front will push south across the eastern portion of

the area from Sun afternoon into Mon before stalling near 26N,

then begin to weaken, dissipating on Tue. Fresh to strong northeast

winds along with moderate to rough seas will follow 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 between Cuba and the Bahamas as well as the entrance to

the Windward Passage as stronger Atlantic high pressure begins to

shift southeastward tightening the pressure gradient.
