The Caribbean Sea

The pressure gradient between high pressure over Florida and lower pressure in the SW Caribbean and NW South America is leading to fresh to locally strong NE winds across the central and western Caribbean, with seas of 5 to 7 ft. Winds are mainly moderate and northerly in the eastern basin. Seas in the east are 3 to 5 ft, except 5 to 7 ft in and near Atlantic passages, due to long period northerly swell. No significant convection is occurring in the Caribbean this morning.

For the forecast, deepening low pressure across the central Atlantic during the next few days will induce NE winds across much of the basin, and fresh to locally strong NE winds through the Caribbean Passages, in the lee of Cuba, and offshore Colombia into Thu night. Large NE swell across the central Atlantic will move through the Caribbean Passages and Tropical Atlantic waters through the weekend.
