...CARIBBEAN SEA & LOCAL REGION...

Lingering moisture of a tropical wave is
producing some cloud patches in the region.
This can induce some widely scattered brief
showers during this forecast period.

Otherwise, the Saharan Dust plume will linger
for the next day or two in the region. 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. Generally moderate seas are noted
over the east to northwest coastal areas. Seas are
here in the range of 4 to 5, locally 6 feet.

Operators of small vessels must exercise caution
over the east to northwest coastal sections...
