Marine Conditions:

The Caribbean Sea

The gradient associated to a 1024 mb Bermuda High continues to sustain a easterly trade-wind pattern across the entire basin. Moderate to fresh with locally strong winds and seas of 5-6 ft are evident at the south-central basin. Gentle to moderate northeast to east winds along with 4-5 ft seas are seen over the north- central and eastern basin. Gentle to moderate northeast to east trade winds along with seas of 3-4 ft prevail for the rest of the basin.

For the forecast, the Bermuda High will prolong moderate to fresh winds across the eastern and central Caribbean today, with locally strong winds in the Windward Passage and off the Colombian coast. Winds will diminish to between gentle and moderate over most of the basin Mon through Wed as the high pressure weakens and shifts eastward. Winds will increase again, reaching moderate to fresh over the northwestern Caribbean and south of Cuba Wed through late Thu as high pressure builds over the Gulf of Mexico. Looking ahead, fresh NW winds will follow a cold front moving into the northwestern Caribbean late Fri.

The Caribbean winds are again being deflected southwards. There is some high level from the W or SW causing some clashing, but there is a movement of cloud coming down from the north, resulting in a lot of rain, presently mainly out at sea, but some patches on land.

Looks as if much of today will be cloudy, som areas of sunshine, but a a high chance of rain, with possible heavy patches.

Belize & Jamaica - Flooding Possible
Heads Up: Belize & Jamaica... The rain chance is even higher the next two days. Isolated flooding is possible. A major winter storm is rolling into California, and that will bring us some cooler nights by the weekend and next week, across the Caribbean.
