BAHAMAS PUBLIC FORECAST

BAHAMAS PUBLIC FORECAST FOR TONIGHT, TOMORROW AND THE NEXT SIX (6)
DAYS, ISSUED BY THE BAHAMAS DEPARTMENT OF METEOROLOGY AT 6:00 P.M.
EDT, Thursday, October 15, 2026. THE NEXT SCHEDULED FORECAST WILL BE
ISSUED AT 6:00 A.M. EDT TOMORROW.

WARNING IN EFFECT: The Bahamas Department of Meteorology has issued a
Special Weather Statement. A strong cold front to bring strong to
gale force northeast winds and large and hazardous marine conditions
this weekend into early next week.

GENERAL SITUATION: A weak high pressure system and deep ridging will
lay across The Bahamas through tomorrow. Moderate winds and slight
seas are occurring through-out the archipelago while streaming
moisture will support passing showers and isolated thunderstorms
around the islands through tomorrow.

OUTLOOK: A frontal boundary approaches the Northern Bahamas by
Saturday. Pre-frontal troughing will bring a renewed increase in
shower and thunderstorm activity, initially across the Northern
Bahamas, before spreading into the Northwest Bahamas by late Saturday
and into Sunday. The boundary is forecast to stall across the
Northwest and Central Bahamas by Sunday and into the start of the
workweek, maintaining unsettled conditions across the island chain
during this period. Strong high pressure building to the north will
also result in a significant strengthening of winds across the island
chain from Sunday through the end of next week.

SPECIAL WEATHER NOTES:
RIP CIRRENTS: There is a slight risk along Atlantic waters across of
the Bahamas. Swimmers are advised to exercise caution, especially in
the Southeast Bahamas.
