The Caribbean Sea

An upper level ridge extends from Panama across the Yucatan Channel, to the Florida Panhandle. Broad upper level anticyclonic wind flow covers most of the Caribbean Sea.

A stationary front reaches from central Cuba near 22N79W, across the NW part of the Caribbean Sea, to northern Belize. Isolated showers are occurring along the frontal boundary.

The monsoon trough extends northeast from the eastern Pacific Ocean into northern Colombia. Zonal wind flow prevails elsewhere across the basin. No significant areas of organized convection are apparent from satellite imagery.

The stationary front across the NW Caribbean will gradually dissipate through tonight. High pressure north of the area will support fresh NE trade winds across much of the area through Sunday. Highest winds and seas will continue to be in the southern Caribbean near the coast of Colombia through Wednesday.
