Marine Conditions:
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.
Tracking Rain Heading In The next few days will be active for Trinidad & Tobago, Guyana, Venezuela, Suriname, Belize, and Honduras. Not only is there a threat of rain, but the Caribbean and the Atlantic will be choppy - seas are building.
The easterly Caribbean winds are back, firmly in control and there is some warm air coming up from the south, together, forming a lot of cloud and a little rain.
Looks as if today will be a mixture of cloud, sunshine and scattered showers.
