The Caribbean Sea

Enhanced by a mid-level low just south of the Yucatan Channel, convergent trade winds are triggering scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms over portions of the NW Caribbean, with moisture and activity propagating from Honduras and Nicaragua northeastward toward Cuba, Jamaica and Hispaniola. Isolated to scattered showers are seen farther east, over Puerto Rico and the Leeward Islands. Fresh to strong NE-E trades along with 5 to 7 ft seas are occurring near the Windward Passage, as well as south of Hispaniola. Gentle to moderate easterly trades and seas of 2 to 4 ft are noted over the SW basin. Moderate to fresh easterly trades and seas of 3 to 6 ft are present across the remainder of the basin.

For the forecast, high pressure located north of the Caribbean Sea will support pulsing fresh to locally strong NE to E winds in the lee of Cuba, Windward Passage, and south of Hispaniola over the next several days. Otherwise, moderate to locally fresh easterly winds will prevail through next week, except gentle winds in the SW Caribbean. Northerly swell may move into the Tropical N Atlantic waters by the middle of next week.
