The Caribbean Sea

There are no significant features or convection over the Caribbean at this time. Water vapor imagery shows relatively dry air over the eastern and central Caribbean. Other than some light trade wind showers in the vicinity of Puerto Rico and Trinidad, the basin is quiet.

Fresh to strong trade winds will prevail across the south-central Caribbean through the upcoming weekend, with nocturnal pulses to near gale-force off the northwest coast of Colombia. These winds will expand north across the central Caribbean today. A cold front will enter the Yucatan Channel late this afternoon, then stall and gradually dissipate over the NW Caribbean into early next week. Strong north winds are forecast west of the front across the Gulf of Honduras late tonight and Sat. Large north swell will reach the Leewards on Sat, and spread south through the northeast Caribbean passages during the weekend.
