Special features:
An area of low pressure, located a few hundred
kilometers south of the Cabo Verde Islands is
producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms.
This system has a medium chance of developing
further as it moves west to west-northwestward
over the central tropical Atlantic waters.

...CARIBBEAN SEA & LOCAL REGION...
Lingering moist air can induce a passing
shower during the morning hours. However,
dry weather will prevail during this
forecast period.

Otherwise, Saharan Dust concentrations
will remain low during this forecast
period. However, people sensitive to
changes in the air quality must continue
to monitor this feature 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 feet.
Generally moderate seas are noted over the east to
northwest coastal areas with seas of 4 to 6 feet,
locally reaching 7 feet.

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