Mon, Jan 31st 2022, 11:56 AM

A stalled frontal boundary near the Southeast Bahamas will continue to generate cloudiness and a few passing showers over the southern islands while it dissipates through Tuesday. High pressure, centered over the Florida peninsula, will generate moderate to locally strong breezes over The Bahamas until mid-late week as it treks northeastward into the western Atlantic. The high pressure ridge over the islands will be displaced eastwards as a cold front approaches the area. The front is expected to stall just north of the Extreme Northwest Bahamas on Saturday and a surface to low-level trough over the islands will support some shower activity through Sunday.
