Synopsis for Caribbean Sea, and Tropical N Atlantic from 07N to
19N W of 55W
1034 PM EDT Sun May 19 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A weak Atlantic surface ridge extends westward along 
25N and into the N Bahamas. The associated pressure gradient 
between the ridge and lower pressure over SE Mexico is supporting 
pulsing fresh to strong E to SE winds across the Gulf of 
Honduras, and fresh to locally strong E winds in the south- 
central Caribbean. The winds in the Gulf of Honduras will 
diminish to fresh speeds overnight. The fresh to strong E winds 
in the south-central Caribbean will shift eastward to offshore of 
NW Venezuela through Tue night and diminish early on Wed. A deep
layer trough will dig southward across the western Caribbean Mon 
night through Fri, supporting active weather E of 80W Tue through
Fri. Fresh to strong E to SE winds will develop in the central 
Caribbean Tue and shift eastward through Thu while diminishing to 
mostly fresh speeds. Smoke due to agricultural fires in Central 
America continues across the Gulf of Honduras, but appears to be 
thinning out.
