The Caribbean Sea

Recent scatterometer data depict fresh to strong trade winds over the south-central Caribbean and in the Gulf of Honduras with seas to 8 ft. Elsewhere, moderate to fresh trade winds are noted in the eastern and central Caribbean, with gentle to moderate SE winds south of Cuba, with 4 to 6 ft seas. Shallow moisture embedded in the trade wind flow will continue to move across the basin producing isolated to scattered passing showers. Some of these patches of moisture are currently affecting Puerto Rico and the US/UK Virgin Islands as well as Hispaniola.

For the forecast, fresh to strong NE to E winds are expected in the south-central Caribbean through Mon night, then mainly moderate to fresh winds will prevail. Fresh to strong winds in the Gulf of Honduras will diminish this morning, and could return Thu night as another cold front moves across the Gulf of Mexico. Fresh to strong winds are also expected in the lee of the Greater Antilles, including the Windward Passage by midweek as high pressure builds over the western Atlantic.
