Marine Conditions:

The Caribbean Sea

Broad upper level anticyclonic wind flow, spans the Caribbean Sea, producing stable atmospheric conditions across much of the basin. Rainshowers are possible, in scattered to broken low level clouds that are moving through the area, from 70W eastward, and from 15N northward from 70W westward.

The monsoon trough is along 07N/11N from 73W in N Colombia, beyond Panama. Isolated moderate convection is across the SW Caribbean offshore of Nicaragua.

Weak high pressure centered NE of the Bahamas is supporting moderate to fresh winds across the central Caribbean, with gentle to light winds elsewhere. High pressure will begin to strengthen to the north of the area tonight through Thu, and will freshen tradewinds across most of the basin. Winds near Colombia will begin to pulse to strong each night through Sat night. A weakening cold front will move slowly SE across the Yucatan Channel and NW Caribbean Thu night through Fri before dissipating. Strong high pressure north of the front will produce fresh to strong NE tradewinds across much of the area through Sun.
