The Caribbean Sea

There is a Caribbean Sea gale warning. The weather pattern over the Caribbean Seas is one of a trade wind regime, dependent on the pressure gradient between high pressure centered in the western Atlantic and lower pressure over South America. Relatively dry air is being brought over the waters with the trades, suppressing any convection from forming this morning. Where the gradient is tightest, fresh to strong NE to E winds are ongoing in the south-central and SW basin. The eastern and north- central Caribbean are experiencing moderate to fresh trades, with gentle to moderate E winds in the NW. Outside of the area described in the Gale Warning above, seas are 5 to 7 ft where fresh to strong wind are occurring, 4 to 6 ft in the moderate to fresh wind zone, and 2 to 5 ft in the NW Caribbean.

For the forecast, fresh to strong NE to E trades will prevail over the central Caribbean through the week as high pressure remains centered N of the area.
