Synopsis...Northeast strong trades will pulse to gale force each
night with rough seas offshore of Colombia this week, supported
by a tight pressure gradient between low pressure over NW Colombia
and the Bermuda High. NE to E trades will be fresh to strong in
the central Caribbean, through the Windward Passage, in the Gulf
of Venezuela, and downwind of Hispaniola and Cuba. Otherwise, E
swell will support locally rough seas near the Windward and
Leeward Islands as well as the Atlantic passages into the
Caribbean before diminishing tonight. Large E swell will resume
across the Leeward Islands offshore zones Thu into at least Sat
night.
