...CARIBBEAN SEA & LOCAL REGION...
Lingering moisture and unstable air are still
present in the regional atmosphere. This can
induce a brief shower during the morning to
early afternoon hours. Dry weather is expected
during the afternoon and evening. A next tropical
wave will reach the eastern Caribbean later today
and will bring some additional moisture
in the region.

Otherwise, Saharan Dust concentrations will be low
to moderate during this forecast period. This will
produce slightly hazy skies and bring air of a low
quality to 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 5 feet,
locally 6 feet.

Small Craft exercise caution over the east
to northwest coastal sections...
