...CARIBBEAN SEA & LOCAL REGION...

The ridge of the Atlantic high pressure
system will support a strong wind pattern
during this forecast period, but will slack
a bit during the weekend. Lingering moisture
will induce a few local passing showers during
the morning hours with dry weather dominating
in the afternoon and evening. A next tropical
wave will reach the eastern Caribbean by late
Saturday into Sunday adding some moisture
and possible showers to the region.

Otherwise, the Saharan Dust layer will linger
for the next few days. This will reduce the
visibility and induce air of a lower quality.
People sensitive to changes in the air quality
must take this into account.

Marine conditions:
Smooth to slight seas are in place on the protected
south sites. Slight to moderate seas are noted on
the exposed south sides with seas of around 2 to
locally 3 to up to 4 feet. Moderate to rough seas
are noted over the east to northwest coastal areas.
Seas are here in the range of 5 to 8 feet.

A small craft advisory is in effect for the
east to northwest coastal sections...
Caution must be exercised elsewhere...
