The Caribbean Sea

The Atlantic ridge extends westward along about 25N to the north of the area and is sustaining moderate trade winds across most of the Caribbean Sea, except for fresh to strong trades and seas of 6 to 8 ft over the south-central basin, north of Colombia, while fresh to locally strong winds prevail across the Gulf of Honduras. Seas of 4 to 6 ft prevail across the remainder of the basin. A middle level trough extends from the Leeward Islands W-SW to the southwest Caribbean and is producing stable atmospheric conditions across much of the basin. This is combining with Saharan air to the east of 77W to produce fair and hazy skies.

For the forecast, the ridge north of the area will persist through early Fri, and maintain moderate to fresh trade winds across most of the basin. Fresh to strong winds are expected across the south-central Caribbean, including the Gulf of Venezuela, mainly at night through Sat. Fresh winds will pulse each night through the end of the week across the interior Gulf of Honduras. Atlantic high pressure will strengthen north of the area over the weekend to produce fresh to strong trades across much of the basin late Sat through Mon.
