The Caribbean Sea
A sharp upper level trough extends from the central Atlantic,
across Hispaniola, and into the south-central Caribbean. Divergent
flow aloft on the southeast side of this trough is supporting
scattered showers over the southeast Caribbean, mainly along and
east of a line from Curacao to St. Kitts, although additional
isolated showers are west of that line, to the south of Puerto
Rico. Dry, subsident northerly flow aloft is evident elsewhere,
between the trough and an upper ridge centered over southern
Mexico. This is suppressing any showers or thunderstorms elsewhere
across the basin, except for localized thunderstorms just south of
Haiti. An earlier scatterometer satellite pass indicated fresh to
strong E to SE winds from just north of the Bay Islands of
Honduras to northern Belize. These winds are likely still
occurring. Fresh NE winds were noted earlier in the northern
Windward Passage, but generally moderate trade winds are noted
elsewhere. Seas are 6 to 8 ft in the Gulf of Honduras and 3 to 4
ft elsewhere, except up to 5 ft south of Hispaniola and in the
Windward Passage.
For the forecast, fresh to strong east to southeast winds are
expected to continue to pulse in the Gulf of Honduras during the
next several nights. Gentle to moderate winds will continue
elsewhere across the basin through Sun, becoming moderate to fresh
across most of the Caribbean early next week.
