Marine Conditions:

The Caribbean Sea

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

Favorable upper-level atmospheric dynamics and diurnal heating in the northern Caribbean allowed for the development of afternoon and evening thunderstorms across the Greater Antilles. A few showers and thunderstorms are seen in the E Caribbean, near the Lesser Antilles with isolated thunderstorms in the NW Caribbean. while fairly tranquil conditions prevail in the rest of the basin. Overnight satellite- derived wind data show fresh trades within 100 nm of the coast of Colombia and NW Venezuela, including the waters surrounding the ABC islands. Moderate to locally fresh trades are present elsewhere in the Caribbean Sea. Sea of 3-6 ft are occurring in the central Caribbean, with the highest seas materializing in the south- central and SW Caribbean. Elsewhere, seas are 1-3 ft.

Hurricane Sam was near 15.2N 51.4W 952 mb at 5 AM EDT moving NW at 7 kt. Maximum sustained winds 115 kt gusts 140 kt. Sam will move to 15.9N 52.2W this afternoon, 16.8N 53.3W Tue morning, 17.7N 54.4W Tue afternoon, 18.6N 55.6W Wed morning, 19.6N 57.1W Wed afternoon, and 21.0N 58.8W Thu morning. Sam will change little in intensity as it moves near 24.9N 61.6W early Fri. Meanwhile, moderate trades will continue over much of the Caribbean through Tue. Fresh trades over the south- central Caribbean will diminish to gentle to moderate speeds today. Gentle trades will then prevail over the Caribbean through Fri. Fresh trades will follow in the wake of Sam across the Tropical N Atlantic waters. Swells generated by Sam are forecast to reach the Lesser Antilles by later today through the middle of the week.
