The Caribbean Sea

A cold front passes diagonally through central Hispaniola to Jamaica then to the NE coast of Honduras. Strong NE winds are spilling into the NW Caribbean in the lee of Cuba to the Yucatan Channel, and also through the Windward Passage to well south of Jamaica. Clusters of scattered to numerous showers have moved from central Hispaniola across SW Haiti and into the adjacent Caribbean waters. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms continue along the frontal boundary from the coastal waters SW of Jamaica to NE portions of Honduras.

Fresh to strong trade winds will persist across the south-central Caribbean through midweek, as strong high pressure builds across the western Atlantic. Winds are expected to pulse to gale-force near the coast of Colombia tonight and Tue night. A stalling front extends from central Hispaniola across Jamaica to the NE coast of Honduras. The front is expected to remain nearly stationary and weaken over the next couple of days, but strong NE winds will persist N of the front into midweek over the NW Caribbean, and through the Windward Passage to Jamaica. Seas over the Tropical N Atlantic waters will remain 8 ft or greater for the next several days in mixed N swell and E wind waves.
