The Caribbean Sea

There is a gale warning for the Caribbean Sea.

Dry air subsidence from aloft supports fair weather over most of the basin. Strong high pressure over the SW N Atlantic waters is supporting fresh trade winds in the eastern Caribbean and fresh to strong winds in the south-central region where seas are in the 7 to 9 ft range. Sea heights are 5 to 6 ft elsewhere.

For the forecast, the pressure gradient between high pressure across the western Atlantic and the Colombian low will continue to support pulsing winds to gale force within about 90 nm of the coast of Colombia through at least tonight. Seas will build with these winds. The coverage area of the fresh to strong trade winds will cover mainly the waters between 68W and 80W into the weekend. Generally moderate to fresh trades will prevail elsewhere. A weakening cold front is forecast to enter the far NW Caribbean Sun morning.
