...CARIBBEAN SEA & LOCAL REGION...

No significant changes made to the
forecast. The weak ridge of the
Atlantic high pressure system will
support a moderate to fresh, at
times possibly strong wind in gusts.

Otherwise, a disturbance at different
levels of the atmosphere will provide
the region with weak unstable conditions
and moisture. This will induce some
cloudy spells during this forecast
period with a passing to brief shower.

A plume of Saharan Dust will hinder the
visibility somewhat and produce a low
air quality. People with respiratory
sensitivities are urged to take this
into account.

Marine conditions: Smooth seas are in
place on the protected or sheltered
sites. Slight seas are noted on the
south sides. Moderate seas are noted
over the east to northwest coastal
sections with seas in the range of
4 feet.
