The Caribbean Sea

High pressure is centered north of the area near Bermuda. This ridge of high pressure is supporting fresh to strong winds in the Windward passage as well as the northern Caribbean. Fresh to strong winds are also noted off the coast of Colombia, with moderate to fresh winds over the remainder of the Caribbean waters. Seas are in the 6-8 ft range over the western half of the Caribbean and 5-6 ft over the eastern half.

Winds and seas will diminish across the region through Sun as high pressure north of the area weakens. Pulses of fresh to strong winds will persist through the Windward Passage and south of Hispaniola into early next week.
