Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. Synopsis for Caribbean Sea and Tropical N Atlantic from 07N to 19N W of 55W .SYNOPSIS...Moderate to fresh E winds and seas of 4-6 ft will continue into Thu morning across central and west-central portions of the Caribbean as a tight pressure gradient between the Colombian low and weak ridging in the southwestern Atlantic prevails. For Thu through the weekend, moderate trades and slight seas will occur across the central Caribbean, with light to gentle winds occurring across northwest and southwest portions of the basin. Looking ahead, a broad area of low pressure could form this weekend over the northwestern Caribbean Sea. Thereafter, some slow development of this system is possible through early next week while it moves slowly to the north or northwest over the northwestern Caribbean Sea. There is a low probability of formation in the next seven days. NW Caribbean W of 85W .TODAY...E winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft. .TONIGHT...E winds 10 to 15 kt.
