The Caribbean Sea

There is a Gale Warning for the south-central Caribbean. Pressure gradient from high pressure north of the area combined with the low over Colombia and local effects are producing three areas of enhanced winds. Scatterometer observations in the last couple hours shows near gale easterlies just north of Colombia, strong E winds in the Gulf of Honduras, and strong NE winds in the Windward Passage. Peak seas are likely near 8 to 10 ft just north of Colombia. Scattered showers are occurring in the vicinity of a surface trough that extends from the Atlantic over the Leeward Islands.

Gale-force winds will occur within about 90 nm of the coast of Colombia tonight. From Wed night through Sat night, expect nightly pulses of fresh to strong winds in this region. Expect pulses of fresh to strong winds in the Windward Passage and south of Hispaniola tonight. Fresh to strong trades will dominate most of the waters S of 18N between 64W and 80W today and will persist through Fri. Fresh to strong E to SE winds are forecast in the Gulf of Honduras tonight through Wed night.
