27N49W. A 1025 mb high is over the E Atlantic near 35N20W.

Over the W Atlantic, the central Bahamas surface trough will
each the waters between the Bahamas and Florida late Monday. A
ridge along 29N/30N will maintain gentle to moderate east to
southeast winds across the region through Tuesday night. The ridge
will start retreating eastward on Tuesday night, enabling a
