The Caribbean Sea
An upper level ridge curves through Central America. It extends
from the border of Colombia and Panama, through Central America,
to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec of southern Mexico. The ridge is
pushing upper level anticyclonic wind flow across the Caribbean
Sea.
A cold front is passing through Lake Okeechobee in Florida, to
the NE corner of the Yucatan Peninsula, to SW Guatemala.
Precipitation: isolated to widely scattered moderate to the west
of the line that runs from NW Cuba to the western sections of
Honduras in the Caribbean Sea.
A surface trough extends from a 1014 mb Atlantic Ocean 19N58W
low pressure center, to the south of Guadeloupe, to 14.5N64W.
Precipitation: Broken to overcast multilayered clouds and
possible rainshowers are in the Caribbean Sea, to the east of
the line that runs from 16N70W to 11N65W.
24-hour rainfall totals that are listed for the period that
ended at 27/0000 UTC, according to the PAN AMERICAN TEMPERATURE
AND PRECIPITATION TABLES, MIATPTPAN/SXCA01 KNHC, are: 0.31 in
Guadeloupe.
High pressure, to the northeast of the Caribbean Sea,
interacting with low pressure that is in South America, will
maintain strong NE to E winds, that will be pulsing each night
into the start of next week off the coast of Colombia. A cold
front will move into the NW Caribbean Sea tonight. The cold
front will move southeastward and reach from eastern Cuba to
eastern Honduras by Thursday evening. The cold front gradually
will become stationary from Hispaniola to 16N78W and to Costa
Rica during the upcoming weekend, and dissipate early next week.
Fresh to strong north winds behind this front will expand in
coverage during the weekend as high pressure builds
southeastward across the NW Caribbean Sea. The winds will veer
to northeast to east on Monday and Monday night, as the high
pressure shifts eastward. It is possible that NE winds may reach
to near gale-force speeds in the Windward Passage on Monday and
Monday night.
