The Caribbean Sea

Enhanced satellite imagery continues to show a thin layer of Saharan dust moving across most of the basin where deep-layer wind shear prevails. This environment continues to suppress the development of significant convection across the basin. Shallow moisture is present south of Cuba, supporting scattered showers. The monsoon trough in the SW Caribbean supports convection near Panama. Fresh to near-gale force winds in the south-central Caribbean are forecast to increase to gale-force gusts in the Gulf of Venezuela and off the coast of Colombia by tonight, then sustained gale-force winds will develop through midweek. See the Special Features section for further details.
