Synopsis for Caribbean Sea, and Tropical N Atlantic from 07N to
19N W of 55W
1013 PM EST Wed Feb 18 2026
.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong trade winds will pulse in the south-
central Caribbean through this weekend as a moderate pressure
gradient prevails between high pressure to the north and the
Colombian low. Winds may reach near-gale force each night
offshore of northern Colombia, and rough seas are expected near
and to the west of these winds. Elsewhere, fresh to strong E to
SE winds and occasionally rough seas will occur in the Gulf of
Honduras into early Sun. Otherwise, moderate to occasionally
fresh trade winds are expected over the rest of the basin through
the forecast period. Looking ahead, rough seas may develop east of
the Lesser Antilles late this week as a N swell progresses
through the central tropical Atlantic.
