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, Tuesday, April 14, 2026. THE NEXT SCHEDULED FORECAST WILL BE
ISSUED AT 6:00 A.M. EDT TOMORROW.

WARNING IN EFFECT: There are no public warnings in effect at this
time.
A Near Gale Warning (28 – 33 knots) remains in effect for the
Central and Southeast Bahamas until early Thursday.
The Near Gale Warning for the Northwest Bahamas has been
discontinued.
For additional marine information, please view our Marine Forecast on
our website, met.gov.bs.

GENERAL SITUATION: Fresh to locally strong breezes and generally
stable weather conditions will persist over the majority of the
country as a strong ridge of high pressure extends over the region.
Meanwhile, east of the southeastern islands, a weak surface low and
its associated trough will induce cloudy periods while supporting
isolated showers across portions of that area tonight through
tomorrow.

Outlook: Near gale winds will persist in the Central and Southeast
Bahamas through early Thursday. Brisk winds and hazardous marine
conditions will begin to subside across the Northern territories
tomorrow while progressively moving southeastward through Thursday. A
dry air mass will keep weather conditions mostly pleasant throughout
the week with mostly passing showers. 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.
Coastal 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
island of Eleuthera.
