The Caribbean Sea
An east to west surface trough extends from NW Colombia to the
Costa Rica and Panama border. Scattered showers and isolated
thunderstorms are possible near the trough. Deep convection is
noted across much of Colombia and portions of southern Venezuela.
A mid-level low centered near western Cuba is enhancing scattered
showers and isolated thunderstorms across the basin north of 15N
between 70W and 84W, including over Cuba, Haiti, and Jamaica.
Fresh to strong NE-E winds are pulsing in the immediate lee of
Cuba, across the approach to the Windward Passage, south of
Hispaniola, and in the south-central Caribbean offshore of
northern Colombia and in the Gulf of Venezuela. Moderate to fresh
trades prevail elsewhere, except light and variable in the SW
Caribbean. Seas are 5 to 7 ft in the central Caribbean, and 3 to 5
ft elsewhere, except 2 to 4 ft in the SW Caribbean.
For the forecast, high pressure located north of the Caribbean
Sea will support pulsing fresh to locally strong NE to E winds in
the immediate lee of Cuba, Windward Passage, south of Hispaniola
and near the coast of Colombia through the week. Otherwise,
moderate to locally fresh easterly winds will prevail, except
gentle winds in the SW Caribbean. Northerly swell may move into
the Tropical N Atlantic waters by the middle of the week.
The easterly Caribbean winds ate still clashing with high level winds from the west, but mainly out at sea, but iat has resulted in a fair bit of cloud and a few small rain showers.
Looks as if today will be sunny, but with clouds building during the morning and thinning this afternoon, small chance of small rain showers.
Last Night 24 °C 75 °F Yesterday max. 31 °C 88 °F Yesterday Rain 1.2 mm ( 1.4 ") Over Night Rain 0.1 mm ( 0 " )
