...CARIBBEAN SEA...

Fresh to strong trade winds will prevail during this forecast period
increasing at times in gusts during the weekend. Limited moisture is
inhibiting significant cloud development in the local region. However,
a tropical wave near 57W will approach the Eastern Caribbean late today
into Friday. This will induce moisture and likely some shower activity
during the early weekend.
