The Caribbean Sea

Recent scatterometer data depict fresh to strong trade winds over the south-central Caribbean near the coast of Colombia, and mainly fresh winds over the Gulf of Honduras. Elsewhere, moderate to fresh trade winds are noted in the eastern and central Caribbean, with gentle to moderate SE winds over the NW part of the basin. Shallow moisture embedded in the trade wind flow will continue to move across the area producing isolated to scattered passing showers. These patches of moisture are currently more concentrated over the eastern Caribbean N of 15N and E of 75W affecting the Leeward Islands, 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 near the coast of Colombia tonight, and again Tue night, then mainly moderate to locally fresh trade winds will prevail through Fri. Similar wind speeds are forecast in the Gulf of Honduras Wed night through Fri as a cold front moves across the Gulf of Mexico. Fresh to strong winds are also expected in the Windward Passage and south of Dominican Republic Tue night to Thu night as high pressure builds over the western Atlantic.
