...CARIBBEAN SEA & LOCAL REGION...

Lingering moisture of a tropical wave
that moved quickly west across the
local region, can induce a few brief
showers mainly during the morning
hours. A drying out of the atmosphere
is expected in the afternoon and
evening.

The concentration of Saharan Dust has
increased, resulting in a reduction
of the visibility, providing also a
poor air quality. People with respiratory
sensitivities are advised to take this
into account.

Marine conditions: Smooth seas are in
place on the protected or sheltered
sites. Slight seas are noted on the
south sides with seas of around 2 to
3 feet. Generally moderate seas are
in place over the east to northwest
coastal areas with seas of 5 to 6
feet, locally reaching 7 feet.

Operators of small vessels must exercise
caution on the east to northwest coastal
sections. The relative strong wind will
make for locally quite rough seas.
