The Caribbean Sea

A Gale Warning remains in effect near the coast of Colombia. A surface trough stretches across the Windward Islands and into the SE Caribbean Sea, resulting in a large area of cloudiness and isolated showers. The rest of the basin enjoys fairly tranquil weather conditions. Earlier scatterometer satellite data depicted fresh to strong NE winds in the lee of Cuba and in the south- central Caribbean, outside the Gale Warning area. Fresh to strong trades are also occurring in the Windward Passage and in the offshore waters of southern Hispaniola. Moderate to locally fresh trades are present elsewhere in the basin. Seas of 3 to 6 ft are present in the central, SW and W Caribbean Sea, while seas of 2 to 4 ft prevail in the E Caribbean.

For the forecast, winds will pulse to gale-force offshore of Colombia through early today, and again tonight into early Sun. Fresh to strong NE winds will pulse in the lee of Cuba through early today. Similar winds will pulse through the approach to the Windward Passage and south of Hispaniola through early Sun. Mainly moderate to fresh trades will prevail elsewhere in the Caribbean through Sun morning. A weak cold front will approach the NW Caribbean early next week. Fresh to strong trades east of the Lesser Antilles will prevail through this morning, then moderate to fresh through the remainder of the weekend, helping to build seas.
