Synopsis...The pressure gradient between strong high pressure
located E of Bermuda and relatively lower pressure in northern
Colombia will maintain fresh to strong trade winds and rough seas
across the central and eastern Caribbean. The
high will shift SE and weaken through Tue, leading to a gradual
diminishing trend in winds and seas across the basin this afternoon
through Tue. Fresh trades and large NE swell are expected across
the Tropical N Atlantic waters, to the east of the Lesser
Antilles, today through Wed. A cold front is expected to move into
the northwestern Caribbean early Wed, move SE, and reach from
eastern Cuba to the Gulf of Honduras by Thu. Fresh N to NE winds
and building seas are likely behind the front.
