The Caribbean Sea
High pressure across the NE Atlantic extends W-SW across the
central Atlantic and weakly north of the NE Caribbean. The
associated pressure gradient is producing moderate to fresh
tradewinds across the basin. Generally fair weather prevails
across most of the basin under the stable influence of an upper
level trough. Widely scattered moderate convection is seen across
the coastal waters of Cuba, north of 20N, due to associated
moisture from a shearline extending from the central Bahamas
across central Cuba to the Yucatan Channel.
The monsoon trough extends from Colombia near 11N73W, through
Panama and into the eastern Pacific Ocean. Scattered strong
convection across NW Colombia extends across the SW Caribbean to
11.5N79W.
The weak high pressure ridge extending north of the NE Caribbean
will maintain moderate to fresh tradewinds across the basin
through Wed. Trade winds will increase basin wide Wed night
through Fri night as high pressure builds across the western
Atlantic. Expect fresh to strong easterly winds in the Gulf of
Honduras mainly at night through Thu night.
