Synopsis for Caribbean Sea, and Tropical N Atlantic from 07N to
19N W of 55W
934 PM EST Mon Jan 19 2026
.SYNOPSIS...Gale force NE winds are forecast to pulse each night
over the waters offshore Colombia through Thu. A weakening
stationary front extending from eastern Cuba to the Gulf of
Honduras will dissipate on Tue. Fresh to strong N to NE winds and
rough seas will persist over the NW Caribbean W of the front. By
late Tue, strengthening high pressure over the SE of the United
States will reinforce the northerly winds over the NW Caribbean,
including the Gulf of Honduras. These marine conditions will
improve by Wed. In addition, the NE winds will continue to
transport abundant tropical moisture into northern Honduras
supporting periods of heavy rainfall through mid-week. An area of
moisture, currently located over the central Atlantic, will reach
the Leeward Islands on Wed, and Puerto Rico on Thu increasing the
potential for showers and isolated thunderstorms.
