The Caribbean Sea

T.S. Eta is close to the western tip of Cuba and the eastern portion of the Yucatan Channel, and will remain in that vicinity through today, spreading rain squalls and high seas over the area. Eta will move northward and away from the Yucatan Channel on Wednesday. Large swells from Eta are expected to propagate over the western Caribbean today before subsiding on Wednesday.

Farther east, an area of strong upper-level diffluence is enhancing scattered moderate to strong convection from 15N-21N between 66W-71W, including near and over portions of Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and the Mona Passage. A recent ASCAT pass shows fresh winds in the E Caribbean, strong winds in the NW Caribbean, and gentle winds elsewhere in the basin.

A tropical wave in the eastern Caribbean will move through the central Caribbean during the next couple of days. Low pressure could form along the wave with the potential for tropical cyclone development late this week or over the weekend. Expect winds and seas to increase over most sections of the central Caribbean beginning on Thu.
