Synopsis for the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas
423 AM EDT Sat Nov 5 2022

.SYNOPSIS...Strong high pressure north of the area will support
strong to near gale force easterly winds, mainly north of 27N
through tonight. Large NE swell will push southward across the
entire area over the weekend. A large non-tropical low pressure
system is expected to develop across the northeastern Caribbean
Sea and southwestern Atlantic by the latter part of the weekend.
The system is initially expected to be very broad and disorganized.
However, it could begin to acquire subtropical or tropical
characteristics during the early part of next week, and a
subtropical or tropical depression could form during the early to
middle portion of next week while the system moves generally
westward to west-northwestward over the southwestern Atlantic. A
tight pressure gradient between the low and strong high pressure
farther north is expected to lead to a broad area of strong to
near-gale force SE winds east of the low, possibly reaching
minimal gale force with very rough seas north of the Leeward
Islands and east of the central Bahamas late Sun and Sun night.
Looking ahead, strong to gale force winds and rough seas are
possible off northeast Florida from late Mon through mid week as
the low pressure shifts northwestward into a strong ridge centered
north of the area.
