.SYNOPSIS...A deep layer trough will continue to dig southward
across the western Caribbean through tonight, then lift out to
the NE Thu through Sat. This feature will support active weather

winds in the central Caribbean today will shift northeastward
tonight through Thu while diminishing to mostly fresh speeds. A
broad and weak trough will prevail across the north-central
Caribbean Thu night through Sat, yielding moderate trade winds
across the E portions and moderate to fresh winds across NW
portions of the basin. Smoke due to agricultural fires in
Central America continues across the Gulf of Honduras, and
spreads NW to the Yucatan coast.
