SYNOPSIS for the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas  1046 AM EDT Thu Apr 24 2025  

SYNOPSIS......
 A surface trough extends from near 30N58W southwestward  to 20N65W. A tight pressure gradient between the trough and the  subtropical ridge to the NW is leading to fresh to locally strong  NE winds and rough seas N of 23N between 60W and 70W. These winds  and seas will continue through Fri as the trough remains nearly  stationary. Winds should should diminish by the weekend as the  pressure gradient relaxes. Looking ahead, a cold front may move  southward, between Florida and 65W, late Sunday into Monday  followed by moderate to fresh N to NE winds.
