...CARIBBEAN SEA & LOCAL REGION...

Local forecast:
Breezy to windy conditions are in place as the
the ridge of the strong Atlantic high pressure
system is in control of the regional weather.
Winds will reach strong to occasionally near
gale to possibly gale force in gusts. Otherwise,
no significant cloud development is expected
and therefore, the dry conditions will
continue during this forecast period.

Moreover, a significant concentration of the
Saharan Dust is invading the regional skies
and will produce hazy skies and induce air
of a low quality in the region.
People sensitive to changes in the air quality
must take this into account to aviod health
issues.

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 4 feet. Moderate to rough seas are noted
over the east to northwest coastal areas.
Seas are here in the range of 5 to 8 feet and
reaching 9 feet on exposed sections.

Mariners are advised to exercise extreme caution
due to the strong wind pattern...
The Small Craft Advisory stays in effect for the
east to northwest coastal sections...
Marine users and sea bathers on the exposed south
sections are advised to exercise caution...
