The Caribbean Sea
The GFS model shows large-scale anticyclonic wind flow that covers
the eastern half of the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea, and
the Atlantic Ocean from 60W westward. The GFS model for 250 mb
shows an anticyclonic circulation center in the Windward Passage.
The anticyclonic circulation center is about 60 nm to the NE of
the SE Bahamas at 500 mb. The anticyclonic circulation center is
about 60 nm to the NE of the NW Bahamas at 700 mb.
Comparatively drier air in subsidence in water vapor imagery covers
the Caribbean Sea to the east of the line from 20N82W to 10N81W.
Comparatively drier air in subsidence also is in the Atlantic
Ocean from 15N southward from 50W westward, and from 10N to 15N
between 36W and 50W.
The latest scatterometer data, from 03/0200 UTC, show a trough

High pressure to the north of the area will maintain fresh to
occasionally strong trade winds off Colombia through the next

into the northwest Caribbean Sea by Saturday. The cold front will
be followed by an increase in winds and seas. The cold front will
reach from eastern Cuba to Nicaragua on Sunday afternoon, and
