MARINE FORECAST FOR SEAS AROUND CURAÇAO:
.

Synopsis:
A westward-moving tropical wave is enhancing increased moisture levels across
the region, allowing for periods of passing low-level clouds that may produce a
morning shower. As the day progresses, drier conditions will persist under a
prevailing southeasterly flow that continues to bring in continental air over
the area. Winds are expected to strengthen further, driven by the tightening
pressure difference associated with the Atlantic high.

Weather:
Partly cloudy with a morning shower possible and strengthening winds persisting
throughout the day.

Visibility:
15 to 25 kilometer in a hazy condition.

Winds:
Easterly and moderate to fresh; force 4 to 5 (20 to 39 km/h, 11 to 21 knots).
Occasionally strong in gusts, by tomorrow reaching near gale; force 6 to 7 (40
to 61 km/h, 22 to 33 knots).

Seas:
Moderate with wave heights between 1 and 2 meter (3 and 7 feet). The highest
wave action is over the northern exposed waters.

.

Local wind forecast for the next 48 hours:
Easterly and moderate to fresh; force 4 to 5 (20 to 39 km/h, 11 to 21 knots).
Occasional gusts, strong to near gale force; force 6 to 7 (40 to 61 km/h, 22 to
33 knots)

Synopsis...The pressure gradient between the Atlantic ridge and
the Colombian Low will continue to support fresh to strong trades
over the south-central Caribbean today. The ridge will
begin to strengthen modestly behind a tropical wave currently
moving across the eastern Caribbean, leading to a significant
expansion in coverage of strong trade winds over the central and
eastern portions of the basin through Sat. Winds may increase to
gale-force offshore of Colombia by Fri night. Looking ahead, an
area of showers and thunderstorms associated with a tropical wave
is located about 950 miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde
Islands. Environmental conditions are forecast to be conducive for
development during the next couple of days, and a tropical
depression will likely form while the system moves westward to
west-northwestward across the central tropical Atlantic.
