ARC Bahamas - 11/09 11z - Forecast Update #9

Prepared: November 09 11:43z
FM: Weather Routing Inc. (WRI)

Synopsis: A gale near 40N/47W with a cold front SW'ward to near 23N/65W will
continue ne'ward through this evening. The tail end of the cold front form
25N/62W SW'ward to the Dominican Republic tonight will weaken into a trough
while remaining stationary through tomorrow morning, then dissipate tomorrow
evening. High pressure near 27N/73W will move e'ward to near 27N/58W tonight. A
cold front will extend from the W'rn Gulf of Maine SW'ward to central Georgia
this afternoon will track se'ward and extend from south of Nova Scotia to the
n'rn Bahamas by the morning of the 10th. Low pressure will develop along this
front offshore Delaware this evening and will track se'ward while strengthening
into a gale near 34N/66W by tomorrow evening. The gale will lift ne'ward and
weaken to near 37N/60W by afternoon the 11th. The cold front will move through
the rest of the Bahamas and pass north of the NE'rn Caribbean Sea on the 11th
through 12th.

Conclusion: The pattern is quite active for the W'rn Atlantic with very
changeable conditions both in terms of time and distance as systems develop and
move across the region. Initially, broad ridging is now producing light wind
for Grid FF to EE and s'rn Grid DD and n'rn Grid GG. Later today through
tonight as the next gale begins to take shape east of the Mid Atlantic, expect
increasing W'ly winds veering to the SW for grids BB, EE and DD. As the gale
shifts e'ward winds will veer again to the NW and increase further, in
particular across the n'rn Grids BB, DD and EE, with the SW winds ahead of the
front shifting e'ward into/across EE and FF. As the system continues e'ward and
ridging broadens across the W'rn Atlantic, expect winds to ease steadily
tomorrow night through the 11th.

The developing system will generate another round of large swell which will be
shorter in period than the current lowering N-NE swell. This will be more of a
NW-N swell that will initially develop across Grid BB and n'rn DD and this will
propagate SE'ward into/across Grid BB (where swell will be highest tomorrow),
DD and then into EE and FF to a lesser extent than more n'rn grids.
