The Caribbean Sea

The GFS model for 250 mb, for 500 mb, and for 700 mb shows one inverted trough in the SW corner of the Caribbean Sea, and a second inverted trough from El Salvador southwestward into the eastern Pacific Ocean.

Scattered moderate to isolated strong rainshowers are in the SW corner of the Caribbean Sea, from 10N to 13N between 78W and 82W. Scattered moderate to isolated strong rainshowers from 10N northward between 87W and 93W, and in the coastal plains of southern Mexico within a 30 nm radius of 16N96W. Isolated to widely scattered moderate and locally strong rainshowers cover the rest of the area, including in the Caribbean Sea from 08N in Colombia northward from 70W westward. Please read the SPECIAL FEATURES section for details about the potential for heavy rain amounts and the flooding in Central America.

The monsoon trough is along 11N/12N from 71W in NW coastal Venezuela beyond SW Costa Rica. A 1012 mb low pressure center is along the monsoon trough near 81W.

An 83W tropical wave will move across the rest of the western Caribbean Sea through this evening. The passage of this wave, along with high pressure to the north of the area, will continue to support fresh to near gale-force trade winds in the SW Caribbean Sea tonight, and in the NW Caribbean Sea on Saturday and Sunday. Fresh to strong winds will resume in the south central Caribbean Sea on Sunday evening, being supported by the passage of a new tropical wave that currently is across the Lesser Antilles.
