There is an active wave in the central Caribbean Sea.

Another tropical wave will move across the northeast Caribbean Tue and across the central Caribbean Wed and Thu. Winds and seas will increase again Thu over the south-central Caribbean as high pressure builds north of the area following this tropical wave.
