The Caribbean Sea

Fresh to strong trade winds continue over much the Caribbean Sea, as shown by the latest ASCAT pass, with moderate winds over portions of the NE and NW Caribbean. The strongest winds are focusing along the coast of Colombia, with another area of 25-30 kt winds in the Gulf of Honduras. Water vapor loops from GOES-16 show very dry air over the southern and western Caribbean. Strong subsidence is over the western Caribbean and Central America due to strong mid-upper level ridging. Mid-upper level troughing covers the E Caribbean E of 68W. In the NE Caribbean where the air is slightly more moist, isolated showers are seen near Puerto Rico and the waters N of 17N between 64W-68W.

High pressure N of the area will support fresh to strong trades over much of the central Caribbean through Sun night, with gale force winds expected to pulse near the coast of Colombia tonight. Fresh to strong winds are also expected to pulse over the Gulf of Venezuela and Belize offshore waters tonight. Moderate to fresh trades will continue across the remainder of the area.
