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.
