The Caribbean Sea

A Gale Warning for frequent gusts to gale force remains in effect near the coast of Colombia. Satellite derived wind data show fresh to strong winds over the south-central Caribbean. Similar wind speeds are in the Gulf of Honduras. Elsewhere, mainly moderate winds are occurring. Seas are 8-11 ft over the south-central Caribbean, 5-8 ft in the Gulf of Honduras and 4-7 ft elsewhere, except 1-3 ft in the lee of Cuba.

A diffluent pattern aloft east of an upper-level trough axis continues to support abundant cloudiness and some shower activity over parts of the east and central Caribbean. Plenty of atmospheric moisture will persist in that region today, and combine with the local effects to maintain unsettled weather in the form of scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms over Puerto Rico and Hispaniola and regional waters. Some convective activity is also noted over the SW Caribbean near the base of the above mentioned upper-level trough.

As for the forecast: Fresh to strong trade winds will continue over the south-central Caribbean through Fri. Fresh to strong winds are also expected in the Gulf of Honduras tonight and again Wed night. A moisture surge will continue to affect parts of the east and central Caribbean today while gradually diminishing.
