The Caribbean Sea
Two tropical waves are moving across the basin.
The eastern Pacific monsoon trough extends in the extreme SW
waters between eastern Panama and northern Colombia. Scattered
thunderstorms are noted from 09N between 11N between 77W to 81W.
Showers and thunderstorms are beginning to approach the Lesser
Antilles as a tropical wave approaches the region.
Fresh to strong tradewinds are occurring in the central Caribbean.
Mainly moderate to fresh trades prevail elsewhere in the basin.
Seas are in the 8-10 ft range over the central Caribbean, and 4-6
ft over the remainder of the forecast waters.
For the forecast, Atlantic high pressure will combine with the
Colombian low to support fresh to strong trades over the south-
central Caribbean through Tue. Pulsing fresh to strong E to SE
winds are expected in the Gulf of Honduras at night through Wed
night. A tropical wave currently located along 78W will continue
to move W across the Caribbean today and enhance shower and
thunderstorm activity. Another tropical wave will reach the Lesser
Antilles by this evening and increase the likelihood of showers
and thunderstorms through Sun.

There is easterly Caribbean winds with cloud coming in, but the high level from the north is covering everything. Virtually no rain around though. This north high cloud will probably thin later.
