...CARIBBEAN SEA & LOCAL REGION...

The ridge of the Atlantic high pressure
system will sustaina strong wind pattern
during this forecast period. Otherwise,
a weak tropical wave is moving in the
eastern Caribbean, inducing some moisture
in the lower layers. This is producing a
few widely scattered patches of clouds
in the region which can induce a few
local passing showers, mainly during
the morning hours.

Furthermore, the Saharan Dust plume will linger
for the next few days. This will reduce the
visibility and induce air of a lower quality.
People sensitive to changes in the air
quality must take this into account.

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. Moderate to fairly rough seas are
noted over the east to northwest coastal areas.
Seas are here in the range of 4 to 7, locally
reaching 8 feet.

A small craft advisory is in effect for the
east to northwest coastal sections...
