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, Wednesday, April 15, 2026. THE NEXT SCHEDULED FORECAST WILL BE
ISSUED AT 6:00 A.M. EDT TOMORROW.

WARNING IN EFFECT: There are currently 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. For
additional marine information, please view our Marine Forecast on our
website, met.gov.bs.

GENERAL SITUATION: Ridging continues to support moderate winds and
mostly stable conditions across the islands of The Bahamas.
Meanwhile, a surface trough situated east of the islands will trek
westwards throughout the forecast period, increasing the likelihood
of showers across the southernmost islands tonight.

Outlook: The trough is expected to gradually weaken as it continues
westward through Thursday, bringing only a slight uptick in showers
across the islands on Thursday before ridging once again dominates by
the weekend. Throughout this period, wind and seas will gradually
ease across the island chain. By late Monday into early Tuesday,
another frontal boundary is anticipated to enter the Northern
Bahamas, increasing shower activity across that area, with winds
strengthening to fresh to strong in its wake.

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 remains a moderate risk of water inundation
along all east-facing and Atlantic exposed shorelines across the
Central and Southeast Bahamas. Motorists and pedestrians should
exercise caution while traversing these areas.
