Marine Conditions:

The Caribbean Sea

There is an active tropical wave moving across the western Caribbean. The tropical wave is helping produce active weather south of Cuba.

Fresh to strong winds are noted over the south central Caribbean. Elsewhere, fresh winds prevail over the north central Caribbean, moderate winds prevail over the eastern Caribbean, and light to gentle winds prevail over the western Caribbean.

The pressure gradient between high pressure north of the area and low pressure over Colombia will maintain fresh to locally strong trade winds over the south- central Caribbean this week. Elsewhere, gentle to moderate trade winds will persist across the region for the next several days. Expect increasing winds and seas over the NE Caribbean toward the end of the week as high pressure builds across the western Atlantic.
