Discussion Valid from 6:00 AM 23/07/2026

Special Features:
Tropical Storm Bertha is moving west, near
Lake Charles, Louisianna in the Gulf of
America. Bertha is no danger to the
Caribbean...

...CARIBBEAN SEA & LOCAL REGION...
No significant weather features at this time.
Shallow moisture is present in the lower layers
so no significant precipitation is expected. A
tropical wave will enter the eastern Caribbean
waters late today. This will bring some moisture
and likely some isolated brief showers by the
beginning of the weekend.

Otherwise, variable oncentrations of Saharan
Dust are expected during this forecast period.
This will restrict the visibility and induce
air of a lower quality. People sensitive to
changes in the air quality must continue to
monitor this event and take the necessary
precautions.

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 6 feet, locally reaching 7 feet.

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