General Situation: High Pressure across the Bahamas will shift further eastwards into the Atlantic ahead of a cold front that is expected to move into the Northwest Bahamas tonight and early Tuesday. Showers and breezy conditions will accompany the front as it pushes southeastwards through the islands into Wednesday. High Pressure will then build from the west across the area through the remainder of the week. Breezy to windy conditions will affect the islands Thursday and into the weekend as a low pressure system moves from the Gulf of Mexico across Florida dragging another front across the Bahamas by Saturday. This system will produce unsettled weather and hazardous boating and beaching conditions across the islands through the weekend and into early next week.
