BAHAMAS PUBLIC FORECAST



BAHAMAS PUBLIC FORECAST FOR THIS AFTERNOON, TONIGHT AND THE NEXT SIX

(6) DAYS, ISSUED BY THE BAHAMAS DEPARTMENT OF METEOROLOGY AT 12:00

P.M. EDT, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2026. THE NEXT SCHEDULED FORECAST WILL

BE ISSUED AT 6:00 P.M. EDT.



WARNING IN EFFECT: A Near Gale Warning (28 – 33 knots) remains in

effect for the Northern and Northwest Bahamas. Occasional gusts to

near-gale force are possible across the aforementioned areas.

Boaters, especially small craft operators are advised to remain in

port and swimmers are strongly advised to refrain from entering the

water.



GENERAL SITUATION: A wet and breezy weather pattern will persist

across the northern half of the country today as mid- to upper-level

moisture streams into the region from the Gulf, while troughing

associated with a decayed frontal boundary lingers across the

Northwest Bahamas. Additionally, a strong pressure gradient between

an expansive high-pressure system over the northeastern United States

and low pressure to the distant south will maintain fresh to strong

breezes across the Northern and Northwest Bahamas, where seas will be

moderate to rough. Elsewhere, mainly moderate to locally fresh

breezes and slight to moderate seas are expected.



Outlook: The frontal boundary is expected to gradually dissipate on

Monday; however, high pressure to the north will maintain breezy

conditions across the northern half of the country. Meanwhile, an

upper-level trough, combined with increasing moisture and atmospheric

instability moving in from the Gulf, will enhance shower and

thunderstorm activity across the Northern and Northwest Bahamas

before gradually spreading across the remainder of the islands

through Tuesday. Winds are expected to gradually subside across all

areas by late Tuesday, although elevated swells will persist across

the Northern Bahamas through the middle of the week.



SPECIAL WEATHER NOTES: Rip Currents: There is a high risk of

dangerous, life-threatening rip currents along all northern, eastern

and Atlantic coastlines of the Northern, Northwest and Central

Bahamas. Beachgoers are urged to stay out of the water in these

areas. There is a moderate risk of rip currents in the Southeast

Bahamas. Beachgoers are urged to exercise extreme caution.

Flooding: There is a slight to moderate risk of flooding in low-lying

and flood-prone areas of the Northern and Northwest Bahamas today

through Monday as periods of heavy rain develop. Residents are asked

to take the necessary precautions.



Coastal and Tidal Flooding: High tides near the end of the king-tide

period, combined with moderate to large swells, bring a slight to

moderate risk of coastal and tidal flooding along shorelines and

marshland areas. Use caution on low-lying coastal roads near high

tide.

Severe Thunderstorm Risk: There is a slight risk of a few isolated

strong to severe thunderstorms over portions of the Northern,

Northwest & Central Bahamas this afternoon through Monday. These

storms have the potential to produce frequent lightning, gusty winds,

heavy downpours and waterspouts. Therefore, the public is urged to

remain updated on all severe weather warnings issued by the Bahamas

Department of Meteorology.
