The Caribbean Sea

A broad upper level ridge prevails across most of the basin inducing strong subsidence and relatively dry conditions across the eastern and central Caribbean. Convection over Cuba could potentially continue through the morning hours due to the influence of the front to the north. The East Pacific monsoon trough is over Panama along 09N enhancing shower activity in this area. ASCAT data depicts fresh trades over the central Caribbean, while moderate trade winds prevail over the western and eastern Caribbean.

Fresh winds will persist across the south central Caribbean through Thu, then diminish as a high pressure ridge weakens northeast of the region. Winds will be strongest along the coasts of Venezuela and Colombia. Fresh to strong winds will pulse over the Gulf of Honduras region through Sun. Smoke and haze from ongoing fires in Central America will reduce visibilities north of Honduras during the next several days.
