.Synopsis...Large northerly swell to 10 ft will persist over
the Atlantic waters and passages of the Leeward and Windward
Islands through Tuesday, then subside. High pressure centered north
of the area will support moderate to fresh trade winds across the
eastern and central Caribbean into mid week. The high pressure
will build thereafter, following a weak cold front that will move
into the Yucatan Channel by late Thursday. This pattern will allow
fresh to strong winds and occasional rough seas to pulse off
Colombia Wednesday into Friday, and moderate to fresh NE winds elsewhere.
