...CARIBBEAN SEA & LOCAL REGION...
No significant features at this time. Shallow
moisture will limit the development of clouds
in the region. Therefore, no significant
precipitation is expected during this forecast
period. Looking ahead, a mid to upper level
disturbance is entering the eastern Caribbean.
This system will induce some moisture by late
Sunday into Monday as it moves slowly westward,
likely making the chances for precipitation
somewhat better.


Otherwise, a moderate concentration of Saharan Dust
will produce hazy skies and induce air of a lower
quality in the region. People sensitive to changes
in the air quality must continue to monitor this
feature and take precautions, if necessary.

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,
locally reaching 7 feet.

Small Craft must exercise caution on the east
to northwest coastal sections...
