...CARIBBEAN SEA & LOCAL REGION...

Breezy conditions will continue for today,
enhanced by the ridge of the Atlantic high
pressure system. Otherwise, a tropical wave
is crossing the eastern Caribbean, bringing
about some moisture and unstable air while
moving quickly westward. Widely scattered
brief showers are noted in the local region.
Expect therefore a brief shower during the
morning hours with generally dry weather
prevailing in the afternoon and evening.

Moreover, a low concentration of Saharan Dust
is expected during this forecast period.
However, persons who are sensitive to changes
in the air quality must continue to monitor
the situation and take the 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 7 feet.

Small Craft exercise caution on the east to
northwest coastal sections...
