Marine Conditions:
The Caribbean Sea
A surface ridge associated to a 1022 mb high center located over
central Florida continues to control the trade wind regime across
the entire basin. Moderate to fresh trade winds are over the
south-central basin, with fresh to strong northeast to east winds
near and offshore the coast of Colombia. Seas in this part of the
basin are in the 5-7 ft range, except for slighter higher seas of
6-8 ft seas near the coast of Colombia. Gentle to moderate
northeast to east trade winds, with seas of 3-5 ft are over the
remainder of the sea. Isolated light showers moving quickly
westward are possible in the eastern Caribbean and in the far
southwestern part of the sea near the coast of Costa Rica.
For the forecast, pulsing fresh to strong northeast to east trade
winds in the south-central Caribbean and near the coast of
Colombia will continue through Fri night, then return Sun night
through early next week. Moderate to fresh trade winds over most
of the basin will continue through this morning. A cold front will
reach the Yucatan Channel by Fri night followed by fresh to
locally strong NW to N winds. The front will reach from eastern
Cuba to the Gulf of Honduras on Sat afternoon, and from Haiti to
near Cabo Gracias a Dios, Nicaragua Sat night into Sun. The front
could reach the northeastern Caribbean Sun night through Mon night
as it weakens to a shear line.
Cold front No. 23 will move across the Yucatan Penninsula, Central America and parts of the Western Caribbean this weekend producing a drop in temperatures and rain. Mainland polar air will reach the Peninsula this weekend boosting the MuukNaal cold front.
The easterly Caribbean winds are back to normal, very little sign of high level winds, but there is a little clashing along the coast and way out at sea. There is another cool front crossing into the Gulf, but it might not get to us.
Looks as if today will be mainly sunny, with some white clouds and a small chance of the odd rain shower.
