Marine Conditions:

The Caribbean Sea

Strong high pressure north of the area will support strong to near gale-force winds in the central Caribbean through early Mon, with gale conditions developing near the coast of Colombia again tonight. Fresh to locally strong winds over the eastern Caribbean will start to diminish Tue. Large long-period northerly swell will propagate through the NE Caribbean passages and into the Tropical N Atlantic waters into early next week, with the largest swell expected through tonight. A cold front is forecast to reach from western Cuba to the Yucatan Peninsula on Mon, then stall as it reaches from the Dominican Republic to the central Caribbean by early Wed. Fresh to strong winds following the front will affect the NW basin through Tue and the far SW basin Tue and Wed.

Large northerly swell east of the Bahamas will continue to cause potential coastal flooding and very high surf along north-facing shorelines of the Caribbean Sea islands east of Hispaniola through Monday, with breaking waves approaching 15 to 20 feet in some areas.

A plume of shallow moisture, remnant of a stationary front, is supporting passing showers over portions of Puerto Rico, Hispaniola and Jamaica. Dry, stable air dominates the remainder basin, supporting fair weather.
