MODERATE RIDGING EXTENDS S-SW'WARD FROM THE HIGH TO/ACROSS THE BAHAMAS AND E'WARD TO AND NORTH OF THE LEEWARD ISLANDS. RIDGING NORTH OF 25N IS BROADER/WEAKER AND THIS WILL WEAKEN FURTHER THROUGH THE 14TH. RIDGING NEAR AND EAST OF THE S'RN BAHAMAS WILL ALSO WEAKEN, HOWEVER THIS WILL NOT BE AS SIGNIFICANT.
