The Caribbean Sea

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

An upper-level low is centered over Hispaniola, enhancing scattered showers and thunderstorms over the NE Caribbean, including Puerto Rico and Hispaniola. Abundant mid to upper level clouds cover Cuba, Jamaica and the NW Caribbean. This cloudiness is the result of strong upper level northerly winds. Gentle to moderate trades prevail across the basin, along with seas in the 2 to 4 ft range, except 1 to 2 ft over the NW Caribbean Sea.

For the forecast, a weak pressure gradient will continue to provide gentle to moderate easterly winds basin-wide. By tonight, moderate to fresh winds will develop in the Gulf of Honduras and Gulf of Venezuela and regional waters. Winds will further increase to fresh to strong in the Gulf of Honduras and the south-central Caribbean Thu night, continuing through Sat. Seas are forecast to build to 6-8 ft near the coast of Colombia by Thu night.
