BAHAMAS PUBLIC FORECAST

FORECASTS FOR THE BAHAMAS FOR TODAY, TONIGHT AND THE NEXT SIX (6)
DAYS, ISSUED BY THE BAHAMAS DEPARTMENT OF METEOROLOGY AT 6:00 A.M.
EDT, Thursday, April 16, 2026. THE NEXT SCHEDULED FORECAST WILL BE
ISSUED AT 12:00 P.M. EDT.

WARNING IN EFFECT: There are currently no public warnings in effect.
For marine information, please view our Marine Forecast on our
website, met.gov.bs.

GENERAL SITUATION: A high-pressure ridge will continue to support
mostly stable weather conditions, with moderate breezes and the
chance of a few brief passing showers. However, a nearby trough
situated near the Southeast Bahamas will bring a greater likelihood
of a few isolated showers across that area as it slowly moves
westward.

Outlook: The trough is expected to weaken through Friday, allowing
high pressure to become the dominant weather feature across the
region. However, lingering moisture associated with the decaying
trough will support a few spotty showers across the island chain
through the weekend. Winds will remain gentle to moderate during this
period while temperatures begin to steadily climb.

By late Monday into early Tuesday, another frontal boundary is
expected to move into the Northern Bahamas, bringing widely scattered
showers along with fresh to strong breezes and cooler temperatures
across the country well into the week ahead.

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.
