...CARIBBEAN SEA & LOCAL REGION...
A tropical wave is moving in the eastern
Caribbean and will begin to affect the
local region during this forecast period.
Most of the active weather will pass to
the north of the local area. However,
still some cloud patches will move over
the region and produce some brief showers
with also a slight risk of thunder. Street
flooding is possible in the event of heavy
downpours.

Otherwise, Saharan Dust concentrations will
produce hazy skies and bring a low air quality.
People sensitive for 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.
