Marine Conditions:

The Caribbean Sea

A Gale Warning is in effect for the south-central Caribbean. Fresh to strong trades prevail across most of the central Caribbean to 80W, including the Windward Passage, and the Gulf of Honduras, with fresh trades in the eastern Caribbean. Gentle to moderate winds are found elsewhere. Seas are 7-11 ft in the central Caribbean and 5-7 ft elsewhere, except for 2-4 ft south of Cuba. Fresh to strong easterly trades are building in across the NE Caribbean behind the tropical wave along 67W, and will bring scattered afternoon convection to the area today.

High pressure centered across the central Atlantic extends W-SW to central Florida and is combining with low pressure over N Colombia to support fresh to strong E winds over the central Caribbean. Gale force winds north of Colombia will end early this morning. The pressure gradient south of the ridge will support fresh to strong winds across the central Caribbean today. The ridge will weaken west of 75W this afternoon through early next week as a weak frontal system and low pressure move offshore of Georgia and Florida and meander through the weekend, weakening the pressure gradient across the basin.

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

A disturbance over southeast Georgia may have a low chance of developing some tropical characteristics this weekend off the coast of the southeastern United States or far eastern Gulf of Mexico. With warm water and relatively low wind shear, conditions may just be conducive enough for some modest tropical development right near the coast. Regardless, heavy tropical downpours are expected to impact parts of the region through the weekend.

Otherwise, tropical development is not anticipated through at least the end of the week, mainly due to a broad area of Saharan dust over much of the Atlantic basin.

There are a few waves moving westward through the basin, but none of those waves show any signs of organizing.
