...CARIBBEAN SEA & LOCAL REGION...

Local forecast:
The pressure differences in the region will
relax a bit during the next day or two. This
will make the wind also relax a bit. Fresh to
strong winds are still expected for today,
reaching near gale force in gusts. Shallow
moisture in the airflow is expected to bring
some patches of clouds at times during the
morning. These will likely induce a light
brief shower. Generally dry weather will
prevail for the rest of the day.

Moreover, the Saharan Dust layer in the regional
atmosphere is producing hazy conditions and inducing
air of a low quality. People sensitive to changes
in the air quality must take this into account
to aviod health issues.

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 now
noted over the east to northwest coastal areas.
Seas are here in the range of 4 to 7 feet.

Seas will diminish a bit during the next few days.
However, the Small Craft Advisory (SCA) stays in
effect for the east to northwest coastal sections...
The SCA will probably be lifted during the
weekend...
