FPBA31 MYNN 131455 131455 MYNNYM BAHAMAS PUBLIC FORECAST BAHAMAS PUBLIC FORECAST FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT AND THE NEXT SIX (6) DAYS, ISSUED BY THE BAHAMAS DEPARTMENT OF METEOROLOGY AT 12:00 P.M. EDT, SATURDAY, JUNE 13, 2026. THE NEXT SCHEDULED FORECAST WILL BE ISSUED AT 6:00 P.M. EDT. WARNING IN EFFECT: A Near Gale Watch (winds 28 to 33knots) will come into effect for the Southeast Bahamas early Monday morning. Boaters are advised to remain in port and beachgoers stay out of the water. There are no public warnings in effect at this time. For additional marine information, please view our Marine Forecast on our website, met.gov.bs. GENERAL SITUATION: High pressure remains the dominant weather feature across the Bahamas, supporting light to moderate winds, hot temperatures, and a few isolated passing showers. Meanwhile, a tropical wave interacting with mid- to upper-level troughing near the Southeastern Bahamas will enhance shower activity across that area through tonight. Outlook: As the tropical wave moves westward, lingering moisture will gradually spread northward, increasing the likelihood of showers across the northern islands early next week. This moisture is expected to pool ahead of a frontal boundary forecast to approach northern Florida late next week, helping to sustain humid and unsettled weather conditions across the region. Additionally, a tight pressure gradient across the Southeastern Bahamas will support increased winds and rougher seas through midweek. SPECIAL WEATHER NOTES: Heat and UV Index: Members of the public across The Bahamas are advised to remain hydrated, wear protective clothing and sunscreen and seek shaded areas while outside during peak sunshine hours (11am – 4pm), as UV indices are expected to be in the very high to extreme range and heat indices may reach the lower triple digits. Rip Currents: A slight risk of rip currents exists along Atlantic-exposed beaches of the island chain. The risk increases to moderate in the Southeast Bahamas during the late afternoon and early evening when wind driven waves increase over night. Beachgoers should exercise caution when entering the water. Saharan Dust: There is a moderate level of Saharan dust across the Southeast Bahamas, and the Turks and Caicos Islands which may impact air quality and hinder visibility. Residents are advised to exercise caution, especially those with respiratory illnesses, should take precautions to safeguard their health. Coastal Flooding: As a result of the approaching New Moon cycle (Sunday 14th), coastal residents are advised that there is a marginal risk of coastal flooding during evening high tides through to next week Thursday.
