Public Notice 🇧🇸
🇧🇸 BAHAMAS PUBLIC FORECAST
Issued: 6:00 P.M. EDT, Wednesday, October 28, 2026
Next scheduled forecast: 6:00 A.M. EDT, Thursday, October 29, 2026
⚠️ WARNINGS IN EFFECT
There are no public warnings in effect at this time.
🌦️ GENERAL SITUATION
A quasi-stationary front will continue to meander over the Northern Bahamas, while a surface trough drifts southwestward and away from the area through Thursday. Low-level moisture will support passing showers and an occasional thunderstorm.
⚠️ Hazardous marine conditions persist in the Northern and Northwest Bahamas, along with dangerous surf conditions along Atlantic-exposed beaches.
🔭 OUTLOOK
Drier air will gradually move into the area, although a lingering mid-level disturbance may trigger isolated showers, mainly during peak daytime heating. Winds will become light and variable across most areas from Thursday as high pressure builds, bringing more settled conditions toward the end of the work week.
Unsettled weather will persist across the Southeast Bahamas through the weekend. Northeast swells will continue to affect Atlantic-exposed waters across most areas through the end of the work week and the Northern Bahamas into early next week.
🌊 SPECIAL WEATHER NOTES
🚫 RIP CURRENTS
There is a HIGH RISK of dangerous, life-threatening rip currents along all coastlines, including Atlantic-facing shores throughout the island chain. Beachgoers should stay out of the water.
🌊 COASTAL AND TIDAL FLOODING
The highest tides of the year, combined with large swells, pose a MODERATE RISK of coastal and tidal flooding along shorelines and marshland areas through tonight.
Large north to northeast swells may overtop seawalls and coastal roads near high tide along north- and east-facing coasts of the Northern and Northwest Bahamas. Use caution on coastal roads, including the Glass Window Bridge in Eleuthera.
