Marine Conditions:
The Caribbean Sea
GOES-16 satellite imagery shows that dense Saharan dust covers
central and western Caribbean. The dry and stable air mass that
accompanies the dust is helping to bring hazy conditions to the
area, and is suppressing convection over these areas. The dust is
a little less dense over the eastern Caribbean. There is enough
moisture to support low topped tradewind showers across the
eastern Caribbean.
Strong to near gale force winds prevail over the south central
Caribbean. Fresh to strong winds prevail across the Gulf of
Honduras. Moderate to fresh winds prevail across much of the rest
of the Caribbean, except in the lee of Cuba where light to gentle
winds prevail.
Fresh to strong trades will prevail across the south central
Caribbean through the remainder of the week and weekend. Winds
will pulse to near gale force off the coast of Colombia each night
through Sun night with seas building to 12 ft and higher during
the strongest winds. Fresh to strong winds are expected to
continue across the Gulf of Honduras through Sat night.
