Synopsis...
High pressure building across the western Atlantic
will maintain moderate to fresh trade winds over the central
Caribbean, with strong winds pulsing off Colombia, Hispaniola, and
eastern Cuba at times through at least Fri night. High pressure in
the wake of a stalling and dissipating front mainly north of the
area will build across the entire basin early next week with fresh
to locally strong winds. Long-period northerly swells will
impact Atlantic passages through the end of the week. Fresh to
strong trades may develop in the Tropical N Atlantic this weekend
into early next week, gradually building seas.
