The Caribbean Sea

A Gale Warning remains in effect near the coast of Colombia. A dry airmass dominates the Caribbean Sea, only allowing shallow patches of moisture to ride the trades producing weak, isolated showers. Surface ridging extending S into the western Caribbean continue to support fresh to strong NE winds in the Windward passage and the lee side of Cuba with seas in the 7-8 ft range. Gale force winds are within 90 nm off the coast of Coloombia with seas in the 8 to 11 ft range.

For the forecast, strong high pressure over the northern half of the Caribbean will continue to support gale force NE winds off the coast of Colombia and fresh to strong NE winds in the lee side of Cuba, south of Hispaniola and across the Windward Passage through Fri night. Gale-force winds off the coast of Colombia is forecast again on Sat night. A cold front is forecast to enter the NW Caribbean Sun night followed by moderate to fresh N to NE winds.
