The Caribbean Sea

The pressure gradient between subtropical high pressure in the western Atlantic and lower pressure over Colombia is generating moderate to fresh NE winds west of 73W in Caribbean, including the Windward Passage, where seas are in the 5 to 6 ft range. Fresh to strong NE winds are pulsing off NW Colombia coast, generating seas to 7 ft. In the E Caribbean, gentle to moderate N to NE winds prevail with mainly 4 to 6 ft seas. Seas are 8 to 10 ft near and SW of Atlantic passages due to long period NE swell originating from the strong low system in the central Atlantic.

For the forecast, large NE swell across the central Atlantic will continue move through the Caribbean Passages and Tropical Atlantic waters through today, decreasing on Sun and increasing again early next week as another swell event reaches the region. Surface ridging north of the Caribbean maintains NE-E winds across much of the forecast waters. Fresh to strong pulsing NE-E winds will occur in offshore Colombia into early next week.

And so this same weather continues to bring patches of rain, some heavy, and continuing for the rest of the day. There is some indication of the warmer cloud causing this, moving up from the south this morning, and there is some indication of SW high level winds over the Pacific. Yesterday our temperatures dropped rapidly down to the normal for this time of the year. There is just a trace of cool air from North America going into the Atlantic, which is where our present Caribbean winds are coming from.

Looks as if today will be similar to the last few days, heavy rain in patches, more sun in the north, more cloud in the south.

Last Night 221 °C 72 °F Yesterday max. 28 °C 82 °F Yesterday Rain 18 mm ( 0.7 " ) Over Night Rain 27 mm ( 1.06 " )

The Atlantic Spin!
The Atlantic spin is causing big waves in the Caribbean. Plus, the rain chance stays high in Belize, and it heats up today in Jamaica.
