The Caribbean Sea

A slow moving cold front is across the NW Caribbean from central Cuba to the Yucatan peninsula near 20N87W. No significant winds or showers are associated with the boundary. The front will reach from eastern Cuba to north of Belize Fri morning, then stall and dissipate over the NW Caribbean waters Fri night and Sat. Scatterometer data shows fresh NE winds near the coast of Colombia, and gentle to moderate winds elsewhere across the region. Typical shallow moisture embedded in the trade wind flow is moving across the area, producing isolated passing showers.

The cold front will stall overnight then dissipate and lift north of the area through Fri evening. Fresh to occasionally strong winds will prevail in the southern Caribbean through Sun, with gentle to moderate winds expected elsewhere. A cold front is expected to move into the northwest Gulf Sat night and Sun, stall from the Windward Passage to Belize by Sun night, then dissipate Mon into Tue. Fresh to strong NE winds and building seas will follow the front over the western Caribbean.
