The Caribbean Sea

Caribbean Gale Warning: The pressure gradient between 1020 mb high pressure to the north of the area and 1008 mb low pressure over Colombia is leading to strong trade winds over the south- central Caribbean. Gale conditions are expected tonight offshore Colombia with seas to 13 ft within the gale area.

Mid-level ridging dominates the western Caribbean, leading to subsidence and dry conditions. An upper-level trough extends from the central Atlantic to the NE Caribbean Sea. This is enhancing scattered clouds and isolated showers across the eastern Caribbean.

Minimal gale-force winds are expected near the coast of Colombia tonight. Fresh to strong winds will continue to blow elsewhere in the south-central Caribbean through the weekend. In the Gulf of Honduras, fresh to strong trades will diminish early this evening. Winds of the same speed are forecast to pulse over Hipaniola adjacent waters tonight and Wed night. North swell will continue to support large seas over the tropical Atlantic waters east of the Windward Islands today. A second swell event will reach the tropical waters E of the Lesser Antilles Thu night and continue through the weekend.
