Marine Conditions:

The Caribbean Sea

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

A broad upper trough extends from Hispaniola northward across the Atlantic, while an sharp and narrow upper trough is along 60W to the N of 10N. A broad area of low to middle level moisture has converged to the N and E of the tropical wave along 86W, yielding active convection. Scattered moderate isolated strong convection is across the SW Caribbean S of 12.5N between coastal Colombia and coastal Nicaragua. Small widely scattered clusters of moderate convection are seen elsewhere inside the Caribbean. Fresh to strong trade wind prevail across most of central portions of the basin between 68W and 80W, where seas are 7 to 10 ft. Fresh trades and seas 5 to 6 ft prevail to the E.

Fresh to locally strong trade winds across the majority of central Caribbean today will reduce coverage to across the south central Caribbean tonight behind the tropical wave exiting the western Caribbean. A tropical wave will move across the tropical Atlantic waters today through early Fri and weaken as it enters the E Caribbean Fri. A low level disturbance accompanied by strong winds, seas 8 to 10 ft, and very active weather will enter the tropical Atlantic waters early Fri and reach the central Lesser Antilles Fri morning. Strong upper level wind shear across the E and NE Caribbean during this time is expected to weakening this system as it moves westward across the E Caribbean Fri through Sat.
