Forecast discussion valid 16/06/2026

Local forecast:
The ridge of the Atlantic high pressure system will
supply the region with breezy conditions and strong
to possibly near gale force winds in gusts. Otherwise,
another tropical wave is entering the eastern part
of the Caribbean. This wave will traverse the local
region westwards during this forecast period and
will spread some moisture doing so. This will lead
to a few brief showers. Do not exclude a possible
thunderstorm. The downpour could be heavy in
the event of a thundershower and cause some
localized street flooding. Moreover, a slight to
moderate concentration of Saharan Dust is
present in the regional atmosphere. This will
induce slightly hazy skies and air of a poor quality.
People sensible to changes in the air quality must
be aware of this.

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. Seas are
here in the range of 4 to 6, locally 7 feet.

Small craft operators must exercise caution over
the east to northwest coastal sections…
It is also advised to mariners to avoid areas with
heavy rainfall and thunderstorms…
