####018019244#### FZNT23 KNHC 171355 OFFNT3 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Caribbean Sea and Tropical N Atlantic NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 955 AM EDT Fri Apr 17 2026 Offshore Waters Forecast for Caribbean Sea, and the Tropical N Atlantic from 07N to 19N W of 55W. Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. AMZ001-180200- Synopsis for Caribbean Sea, and Tropical N Atlantic from 07N to 19N W of 55W 955 AM EDT Fri Apr 17 2026 .SYNOPSIS...A surface trough extending across Haiti and into the north-central Caribbean will drift slowly westward and weaken through Sat. This feature will disrupt the typical weather pattern across the basin with a weaker than usual pressure gradient. This weaker pressure gradient will support mainly gentle to moderate winds through the remainder of the forecast period. Fresh NE winds may develop early next week across the Windward Passage associated with a late- season cold front moving into Cuba. $$ AMZ040-180200- Caribbean N of 18N W of 85W including Yucatan Basin- 955 AM EDT Fri Apr 17 2026 .TODAY...E winds 10 to 15 kt.
