Marine Conditions:

The Caribbean Sea

There is a Gale Warning in effect for the coastal waters offshore Colombia. A weak surface trough that had extended from SE Cuba to W of Jamaica has dissipated overnight, as has associated convection. The basin is thus left in a tradewind dominated regime, with mainly fresh E winds, with the exception of strong trades in the south-central basin and S of Hispaniola. Outside of the seas associated with the gales, described above, waves are 5 to 7 ft in the basin, except 2 to 5 ft in the NW Caribbean.

For the forecast, a strong pressure gradient will persist across the south central Caribbean Sea through the forecast period, supporting fresh to strong easterly trades. Large NE to E swell with seas to 10 ft is over the tropical N Atlantic. Winds and seas in this region will slowly diminish through tonight.
