The Caribbean Sea

There is an ongoing Gale Warning near the northern coast of Colombia. Mostly fair weather conditions prevail across the basin under the influence of a middle to upper level anticyclone covering the central and western Caribbean. A few passing showers are possibly occurring over the eastern Caribbean between 13N and 16N, over portions of the Leeward and northern Windward Islands, and to the north of eastern Honduras. Persistent high pressure north of the area is supporting fresh trades over the eastern Caribbean and strong trades in the central Caribbean, according ASCAT data. Seas are likely 6-8 ft in the eastern Caribbean, 4-7 ft in the NW portion, and 9-14 ft across south central portions of the basin.

High pressure north of the region in combination with low pressure over northern Colombia will continue to support strong trade winds across central Caribbean through Tue, with winds reaching gale force each night near the coast of Colombia. Fresh to strong northeast winds will continue across the remainder of the Caribbean and Atlantic Passages through Mon. Large seas will remain over the tropical Atlantic waters east of the Windward Islands through Mon.
