SYNOPSIS for the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas
404 AM EST Fri Dec 5 2025
SYNOPSIS......
A weakening cold front located east of Bermuda is
slated to move through the central Atlantic today and Sat,
leading to fresh winds and rough seas north of 27N and east of 65W
through tonight. Meanwhile, fresh to locally strong SW winds and
moderate seas will develop off NE Florida today ahead of a cold
front that will enter the area tonight. These winds and seas will
push east quickly Sat into Sat night. The front will extend from
near Bermuda to central Florida Sun morning and dissipate Sun
night. Looking ahead, a complex low pressure system and strong
cold front may move through the northwestern tropical Atlantic by
early next week, supporting widespread fresh to strong winds and
building seas ahead of and behind the front.
