...CARIBBEAN SEA & LOCAL REGION...

Local forecast:
The ridge of the Atlantic high pressure system will
sustain breezy conditions and a strong to possibly
near gale force wind in gusts. Otherwise, a westward
moving tropical wave currently in the eastern part
of the Caribbean, will induce some moisture in the
region. This can lead to briefly cloudy periods
with a passing shower during the morning hours.
Moreover, a light to moderate concentration of
Saharan Dust will induce slightly hazy skies and
air of a poor quality. People who are 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 6 feet.

Small craft operators must exercise caution over
the east to northwest coastal sections...
