Cold Front Claims, Part 2

Here's another front doing a sweep across the balance of the Bahamas, although the thin line of its "tail" shows less power and organization than the thicker part east of the Carolinas. These weaker fronts support the claims of the southeast Bahamas that fronts have less influence on them, but weaken their claim that they never get fronts or "have different weather." The frontal line in the satellite image that precedes the cooler weather is about to cross Crooked and Acklins islands. Yet how much this front will drop water temperatures on the flats of the southeast Bahamas is a fine academic question, since it appears that its effects will be negligible. Yet it's clear that the cloudiness and coolness of fronts this time of year easily cross the Greater Antilles. The best bet, again appears to be Bonaire and Los Roques far to the south.
