The Caribbean Sea
A Gale Warning is in effect for the coastal waters of Colombia.
Recent satellite derived wind data provided observations of strong
to gale force winds near the coast of Colombia, and fresh to
strong trades across the remainder of the central and east
Caribbean. Fresh to locally strong winds are over the Windward
Passage, between Jamaica and eastern Cuba, and in the lee of Cuba.
Seas are 10 to 14 ft over the south-central Caribbean, 9 to 10 ft
S of Hispaniola, 8 to 9 ft in the Windward Passage and between
Jamaica and eastern Cuba, 8 ft in the Gulf of Honduras, and 5 to 7
ft elsewhere.
Shallow moisture embedded in the trade wind flow is moving across
the area producing isolated to scattered passing showers. Some
shower and thunderstorm activity is noted between Haiti and
Jamaica, and also near 17N71W.
For the forecast, strong trade winds will continue over the
central and NE Caribbean Sea, with fresh winds elsewhere over the
eastern Caribbean through Sat. Gale-force winds will pulse at
night near the coast of Colombia through the forecast period.
Fresh to strong winds will continue in the Windward Passage, lee
of Cuba and Gulf of Honduras through late this week, strongest at
night. Looking ahead, a cold front will reach the Yucatan Channel
on Sat and move across the NW Caribbean through Sun. Fresh to locally
strong N winds and moderate to rough seas are expected in the wake
of the front.
There appears to be another cool front trying to push across the Gulf, it is diverting the Caribbean winds up northwards, and there appears to be something pushing up from Honduras, causing some heavy clouds in the Caribbean and causing some rain out there, a little bit on land, there is a light "Tiger" wind over Belmopan from the SW.
Looks as if today will be mainly sunny, but with some significant clouds and a chance of the odd rain shower.
Last Night Temperature 23 °C 73 °F Yesterday max. Temperature 29 °C 85 °F Humidity 80% Pressure 1015 mBar hPa Yesterday Rain 5.0 mm ( 0.2 " ) Over Night Rain 0 mm ( 0 " )
Present Condition: Mostly clear on the mainland, partly cloudy in the northeast including in San Pedro. A moderate easterly prevailing. A small craft caution remains in effect for gusty winds and occasionally rough seas.
24hr Forecast: Sunny skies today with a few cloudy spells. Tonight skies will be partly cloudy. Showers will be generally isolated except for a few more over the south at night and early morning.
Outlook: For Friday afternoon is for fair weather to prevail with only isolated showers, then on Friday night thru to Saturday midday expect a few outbreaks of showers to develop mainly along some coastal and southern areas.
