Synopsis...The pressure gradient between central Atlantic high
pressure and lower pressures over northern South America will
continue to result in fresh to near gale trades over the central
Caribbean for the next several days. Peak winds should pulse to
gale-force just north of Colombia before diminishing to
just below gale-force today. These winds will again pulse back up
gale-force at night over these same waters through the rest of
period, except on Thu and Sun. Gale-force winds are also expected
in the Gulf of Venezuela Fri night and Sat night. Trades over the
Gulf of Honduras will pulse to fresh to strong speeds in the late
afternoons and evenings through the weekend. A fast- moving
tropical wave should reach the Lesser Antilles in the evening,
bringing fresh to strong trades over the eastern Caribbean Thu
through Fri night. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms
may accompany this wave.
