Marine Conditions:

The Caribbean Sea

As of 22/0900 UTC, a cold front extends from the Windward Passage near 20N73W to W Jamaica near 18N78W. The front becomes stationary from 18N78W to E Honduras near 15N84W. Scattered showers are within 120 nm of the front N of 16N and E of 82W. Isolated showers are near and within 120 nm NW of the front. Fresh to strong NE winds prevail within 240 nm NW of the front, with moderate to fresh winds closer to the Yucatan Channel. Only typical isolated trade wind showers are noted over the Leeward Islands and Puerto Rico.

A stalled and weakening frontal boundary from the Windward Passage to eastern Honduras will dissipate today. Strong high pressure north of the area behind the front will maintain strong NE winds over much of the Caribbean through mid week, with gales pulsing off Colombia. Winds and seas will diminish late in the week as the high pressure shifts east ahead of another cold front expected to move into the northwest Caribbean by late Thu. The second front will stall then dissipate from central Cuba to central Honduras by late Fri. Looking ahead, a third front will enter the northwest Caribbean Sun and reach from western Cuba to the Gulf of Honduras Sun night. Farther east, NW swell will move into Atlc waters off the Leeward Islands by Wed night.
