A QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT CONTINUES TO PRODUCE WIDESPREAD CLOUDINESS AND INCREASED SHOWER ACTIVITY MAINLY OVER THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST BAHAMAS. MEANWHILE, MODERATE TO STRONG WINDS CONTINUE TO FLOW ACROSS THE ISLANDS DUE TO BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE NORTH OF THE AREA.
THERE REMAINS THE POSSIBILITY OF WATERSPOUT ACTIVITY IN THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST BAHAMAS…BEACHGOERS AND MARINERS SHOULD BE ALERT FOR THE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS MAINLY ALONG THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN SHORELINES.
ALL AREAS
WEATHER: MOSTLY CLOUDY TO OCCASIONALLY OVERCAST, WARM AND WINDY WITH WIDELY SCATTRED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY IN THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST BAHAMAS THROUGH TONIGHT.
A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR ALL AREAS…EXPECT GUSTY WINDS AND HIGHER SEAS IN OR NEAR HEAVY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
WINDS: EASTERLY AT 20 TO 25 KNOTS WITH HIGHER GUSTS IN THE NORTHWEST AND CENTRAL BAHAMAS…& NORTHEAST TO EAST AT 15 TO 25 KNOTS IN THE SOUTHEAST BAHAMAS.
SEAS: 7 TO 10 FEET OVER THE OCEAN IN THE NORTHWEST AND CENTRAL BAHAMAS, HIGHER IN GUSTS…AND 5 TO 8 FEET IN THE SOUTHEAST BAHAMAS.
DAYTIME HIGH TEMPERATURE 88°F 31°C

WEATHER OUTLOOK: VARIABLY CLOUDY, WARM AND WINDY WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY IN VICINITY OF THE FRONT IN THE SOUTHEAST BAHAMAS.
TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK: A NON-TROPICAL SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP A FEW HUNDRED MILES NORTHEAST OF BERMUDA BY LATE THURSDAY AND PRODUCE GALE-FORCE WINDS. THE LOW COULD THEN MOVE SOUTHWESTWARD OVER WARMER WATERS ON FRIDAY BEFORE THE SYSTEM MOVES TOWARD THE NORTH AND NORTHEAST INTO A MORE HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT BY SUNDAY. THIS SYSTEM HAS A 30% CHANCE OF TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION DURING THE NEXT 5 DAYS AND IS NOT EXPECTED TO POSE ANY THREAT TO THE BAHAMAS.
