The Caribbean Sea

A slow-moving, nearly stationary front is across the Yucatan Channel. Weak 1018 mb high pressure is centered south of the front near Honduras. Low pressure is analyzed over northern Colombia near 09N75W. Fresh to strong winds continue in the south-central Caribbean where the pressure gradient is tighter, with moderate to fresh trades elsewhere south of 16N, and gentle to moderate winds north of 16N. Seas are 7-9 ft in the southern Caribbean, 4-7 ft south of 16N east of 82W, and 2-4 ft elsewhere. As is normal at this time of the year, shallow moisture embedded in the trade wind flow is moving across the area, producing isolated passing showers.

The front across the Yucatan Channel will weaken across the NW Caribbean through Fri. Fresh to occasionally strong winds will prevail in the southern Caribbean through Sun, with gentle to moderate winds expected elsewhere. Looking ahead, a cold front may move into the northwest Gulf Sat night and Sun, stall from the Windward Passage to Belize by Sun night, then dissipate Mon. Winds will become fresh to strong across the Caribbean on Sun as the pressure gradient in the wake of the next cold front significantly tightens due to building high pressure north of the area. Seas will also build significantly across those portions of the basin with the increasing winds.
