The Caribbean Sea

Fresh to strong trades continue over the south-central Caribbean, with moderate to fresh winds elsewhere. Seas are in the 8-10 ft range over the south-central Caribbean, 4-6 ft elsewhere over the eastern and central Caribbean, and 3-5 ft over the NW part of the basin. Higher pressure centered well N and E of the region is dominating weather over the basin, keeping conditions mainly dry. Even earlier convection associated with a trough of low pressure over the Yucatan Peninsula has diminished.

Fresh to strong trade winds over the central Caribbean will diminish slightly into the weekend as high pressure over the central Atlantic shifts eastward, except near the coast of Colombia where these winds will persist through the weekend.
