Synopsis for the SW N Atlantic including the Bahamas
324 AM EST Tue Dec 6 2022

.SYNOPSIS...A large and complex area of low pressure located 
over the central subtropical Atlantic about 800 miles northeast 
of the northern Leeward Islands continues to produce a broad
area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental 
conditions appear conducive for this system to acquire some 
subtropical or tropical characteristics while it meanders 
generally northeastward during the next few days. By Friday, the
 low is expected to move over cooler waters and interact with a 
mid- latitude trough, limiting potential of tropical transition 
after that time. Regardless of subtropical or tropical
development, gale force winds are occurring across the far NE 
waters today. These winds will increase tonight and reach storm 
force Wed. Winds will then diminish slightly with gales 
continuing Wed night into Thu night. Large long-period north to 
northeast swell will impact the Atlantic waters and Caribbean 
Passages between the southeastern Bahamas and the E Caribbean 
with high seas throughout the week, with large E swell reaching 
the Florida offshore waters N of 26N early Fri through Sat.
