Synopsis...The pressure gradient between high pressure ridging
over the western Atlantic and lower pressure in northern South
America will continue to support fresh to strong trades over the
central portion of the basin through Wed night. The ridge will
gradually shift southward to near 26N by Thu allowing for the
trades to significantly expand in coverage to cover the eastern
portion of the basin into early Sat. Winds are expected to reach
near-gale force offshore Colombia and in the Gulf of Venezuela
each night, except Wed night. Winds will pulse up to fresh to
strong speeds during the evenings and at night in the the Windward
Passage through the forecast period. Otherwise, moderate to fresh
trades will prevail elsewhere.
