A surface trough enters the NE Caribbean near 16.5N62W and
continues westward to 16.5N71W. A few shallow showers are seen
near the trough axis. The rest of the Caribbean Sea experiences
fairly tranquil weather conditions. Fresh to locally strong NE
winds are evident in the south-central Caribbean, including the
Gulf of Venezuela. Seas in these waters are 5-8 ft. Moderate to
occasionally fresh easterly trade winds are present in the
remainder of the central and eastern Caribbean. Seas in the waters
described are 4-6 ft. Gentle to moderate easterly breezes and 2-4
ft are observed in the NW Caribbean.
For the forecast, surface ridging north of the region will
maintain fresh to strong NE to E tradewinds across the central and
SW Caribbean Sea through at least Fri night. Moderate to locally
fresh winds will prevail in the E Caribbean with gentle to
moderate winds in the W Caribbean. Long-period N to NE swell will
continue to move into the tropical Atlantic and through the
Anegada Passage into the northeast Caribbean for the next several
days. A cold front will move into the Yucatan Channel by Fri
