The Caribbean Sea

An upper-level low is meandering into the eastern Caribbean. This is causing scattered showers to move across the Lesser Antilles. Scattered moderate convection is also noted in the SW basin from the monsoon trough, S of 10N between 73W-82W. Scattered moderate convection is also noted in the Gulf of Honduras. Latest scatterometer data depicts moderate trades in the central and southeast Caribbean, with light to gentle trades elsewhere.

Weak high pressure ridging north of the area will be be replaced by stronger high pressure that builds southward over the western Atlantic and the U.S. eastern seaboard during the early part of the upcoming week. An induced tighter gradient between the high pressure and couple of tropical waves presently moving through the central and western Caribbean will allow for trades to increase in the south-central Caribbean beginning Mon, then diminish late in the week. Elsewhere, mainly moderate trade winds will continue through late in the week.
