...CARIBBEAN SEA & LOCAL REGION...

Shallow moisture in the lower layers will
produce some patches of clouds to move over
the local region. This can induce some brief
passing showers during the morning. A drying
trend of the atmosphere is expected for the
afternoon with than dry weather prevailing.

Otherwise, the Saharan Dust plume 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 feet. Moderate to fairly rough seas are
noted over the east to northwest coastal areas.
Seas are here in the range of 4 to 7, locally
reaching 8 feet.

A small craft advisory is in effect for the
east to northwest coastal sections...
