...CARIBBEAN SEA & LOCAL REGION...

A tropical wave is traversing the region
and is inducing abundant moist and unstable
air as it moves westward. Expect therefore
a few brief showers with also risk of some
thunder. Some local street flooding may
accompany heavy downpours in the event
of thundershowers.

Otherwise, Saharan Dust concentrations will
fluctuate during the next day or two. This
will reduce the visibility and induce air
of a lower quality during the next few days.
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...
Mariners are advised not to venture in areas
with heavy rainfall or thunderstorms...
