Special Features:
Tropical depression nr. 2 is moving near
Panama City Florida, in the Gulf of America
in a North-west direction. Expected to become
a Tropical Storm later today. This system is
no danger to the Caribbean...

...CARIBBEAN SEA & LOCAL REGION...
A tropical wave is moving in the local region
westward and is bringing some moisture and
unstable air. This will induce some scattered
brief showers with also a slight risk of some
thunder.

Otherwise, Saharan Dust will linger and reduce
the visibility and bring air of a lower quality
to the region. 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. Generally moderate seas are noted
over the east to northwest coastal areas with seas
of 4 to 6 feet.

Operators of small vessels must exercise caution
over the east to northwest coastal sections...
