The Caribbean Sea

Deep moisture, evidenced by water vapor imagery combined with upper level diffluence is leading to scattered moderate isolated strong convection in the NW Caribbean over portions of the Yucatan Channel and Gulf of Honduras. Similar convection is seen over land in portions of Central America. Scattered showers and tstorms are also in the far SW Caribbean near the coast of Panama, Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Drier air is found over much of the eastern and central Caribbean, where isolated trade wind showers are possible. A recent ASCAT pass shows 25-30 kt winds near the coast of NW Venezuela and NE Colombia, south of 14N between 69W-72.5W. Strong trades are elsewhere south of 16N between 68W-76W. Fresh trades are elsewhere between 65W-81W.

Fresh to strong trades will continue over the central Caribbean through tonight then resume again Sat. A tropical wave will move across the SE Caribbean Wed through Thu. Fresh to strong winds will pulse in the Gulf of Honduras Wed night through Fri. Agricultural fires in Central America may reduce visibility at times across the Gulf of Honduras.
