Marine Conditions:

The Caribbean Sea

There are two tropical waves in the Atlantic, and one in the Caribbean.

Numerous moderate to strong convection continues over far SW part of the basin south of 12N between 75W-80W, including to just inland the coast of Colombia. This activity is being sustained by instability created by the eastern segment of the Pacific monsoon trough that reaches to that part of the Caribbean Sea. Additionally, low-level speed convergence found there is also contributing to the longevity of this convection. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are confined to the waters from 16N to 20N west of 82W, including the Gulf of Honduras. This activity has increased during the past few hours. Upper-level divergence east of a small upper-level low noted on water vapor to be just east of Cozumel, Mexico is helping to keep this convection active. Overnight ASCAT data passes depict fresh to strong winds north of Colombia and moderate to fresh winds across the central and eastern Caribbean. Gentle to moderate winds are noted across the western Caribbean. Seas are in the range of 6-8 ft in the central Caribbean and around 3-5 ft elsewhere.

For the forecast, fresh to strong trades over the central Caribbean will continue through early Mon, then diminish to fresh speeds through Tue night as Atlantic high pressure weakens.

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

There are currently no organized tropical systems found across the basin at this time and none are expected to develop through at least this weekend. Dry, dusty air continues to dominate the open Atlantic and no significant features support any development in the Gulf of Mexico or Caribbean.

While the basin remains quite tranquil for now, tropical waves coming off the African coast are starting to clear away some of the dry, dusty air and provide a boost of tropical moisture to the main developmental region of the basin. This trend is expected to continue into the middle of August, with the chances for tropical development increasing as we head into the middle of August.
