Synopsis for Caribbean Sea, and Tropical N Atlantic from 07N to
19N W of 55W
233 PM EST Sun Mar 1 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A broad subtropical ridge over the central Atlantic
will support fresh to near gale-force trades and moderate to
rough seas across the central and eastern Caribbean through the
forecast period. A tighter pressure gradient will initiate gale-
force winds off Colombia beginning tonight. These winds will
continue to pulse to gale-force at night through the upcoming
week. Fresh to strong northeast winds will begin in the Windward
Passage late Mon night. Fresh to strong east winds will begin
to pulse in the Gulf of Honduras starting Wed night. Rough seas
in mixed swell will prevail in the tropical N Atlantic through the
forecast period, with seas to 12 ft reaching 55W Mon. These seas
will subside to just below 12 ft on Wed, then continue to slowly
subside through the rest of the forecast period. Elsewhere,
little change is expected, with moderate to fresh trades
continuing through the period.
