The Caribbean Sea
The gradient between high pressure north of 30N in the western
Atlantic and lower pressures over Central America is supporting
fresh to locally strong SE winds in the NW Caribbean. Trade winds
are moderate to fresh across the remainder of the Caribbean. Seas
are 5 to 7 ft in the NW Caribbean and 3-5 ft elsewhere. The NE
Pacific monsoon trough extends across Costa Rica, Panama, and NW
Colombia. Scattered showers are occurring south of 12N and west of
77W as well as south of 12N between 58W and 63W. Smoke and haze
from agricultural and wildfires over Central America are reducing
visibilities below 7 nm in the Gulf of Honduras.
A ridge north of the area will support moderate trades over much
of the basin this week. Fresh to strong SE winds will persist over
the NW Caribbean, including the Gulf of Honduras, through mid-
week. Hazy sky conditions and areas of smoke are possible in the
NW Caribbean from agricultural fires in Central America. Stronger
trade winds are likely over the central Caribbean this weekend.
Wow no kidding! Awesome photo, huge fish the bird got for breakfast!
