...CARIBBEAN SEA & LOCAL REGION...
No significant features at this time.
Shallow moisture is present in the lower
layers, hindering the development of
clouds that can produce rainfall.
No significant precipitation is
therefore expected during this
forecast period.

Moreover, Saharan Dust concentrations will
remain low during the next day or two. People
sensitive for changes in the air quality must
continue to monitor this feature and take the
precautions, if necessary.

Marine conditions:
Smooth to slight seas are in place on the protected
south sites. Slight seas are noted on the exposed
south sides with seas of around 2 to 3 feet.
Generally moderate seas are noted over the
east to northwest coastal areas with seas
of 4 to 6 feet.
