...CARIBBEAN SEA & LOCAL REGION...

The ridge of the Atlantic high pressure
system will support a strong wind pattern
during this forecast period, but this will
slack a bit during this weekend. Available
moisture in the lower layers will induce a
few brief showers during this forecast
period. A next tropical wave will enter
the eastern Caribbean later today. This
will induce moisture and unstable air
to the region with some showers and a
possible thunderstorm.

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 7 feet,
locally still reaching 8 feet.

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