The Caribbean Sea

Scattered showers and thunderstorms are confined to the far southwestern Caribbean, where the eastern segment of the E Pacific monsoon trough is present. Otherwise, fairly tranquil weather conditions prevail across the basin. The gradient between a 1020 mb high pressure center analyzed to the southeast of Bermuda near 30N60w and lower pressures in northern South America support fresh to locally strong trade winds in the central and eastern Caribbean, including the entrance of the Windward Passage as where noted in overnight partial ASCAT data passes. The strongest winds are noted offshore NW Colombia. Seas in the waters described are 4-7 ft. Moderate or weaker winds and slight seas are prevalent elsewhere.

For the forecast, high pressure will remain north of the area through most of the week maintaining moderate to fresh easterly breezes across the central and eastern Caribbean Sea. Winds may pulse to strong speeds at night south of Hispaniola and in the Windward Passage Tue through Thu, then become rather persistent through Fri night, including in the lee of Cuba. Moderate to fresh trade winds are expected over just about the entire basin through the period.
