950 AM AST Fri May 24 2024

.SYNOPSIS FOR PUERTO RICO AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS WATERS...
Surface high pressure across the central and northeast Atlantic and
an induced surface trough just northwest of the region will promote
moderate southeast winds through tonight. In addition, the proximity
of a deep layer trough over the Dominican Republic and an easterly
disturbance will aid in enhancing thunderstorm development across
portions of the regional waters and local passages through at least
this evening. Winds are forecast to diminish overnight and then
become more easterly over the weekend.
