Bahamas until 8pm Thursday 16th April.

GENERAL SITUATION: High pressure ridging extending from the western
Atlantic continues to produce moderate to fresh winds along with
rough, elevated seas across the islands of The Bahamas through
tonight.

Outlook: Near gale winds will persist in the Central and Southeast
Bahamas through Thursday. Brisk winds and hazardous marine conditions
will begin to subside across the Northern territories tonight while
progressively moving southeastward through Thursday. A dry air mass
will keep weather conditions mostly pleasant throughout the week with
the chance of a passing shower. A westward moving surface trough will
enter the Southeast Bahamas on Thursday increasing shower chances
across the area into the weekend.
SPECIAL WEATHER NOTES: Rip Currents and Rough Surf: A high risk of
dangerous, life-threatening rip currents and rough surf persists
along all Atlantic-exposed beaches and passages of the island chain.
Beachgoers and swimmers are strongly advised to remain out of the
water.

On shore flooding: There is a moderate risk of water inundation along
all east-facing and Atlantic exposed shorelines across the island
chain. Motorists and pedestrians should exercise caution while
traversing these areas, including the Glass Window Bridge on the
