.SYNOPSIS FOR PUERTO RICO AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS WATERS...
A surface high pressure extending from the western to central
Atlantic will tighten the local pressure gradient, promoting moderate
to locally fresh trade winds across the Northeast Caribbean through
at least tomorrow. As a result, expect hazardous seas for small craft
operators due to confused seas associated with the increasing winds
and a northeasterly swell spreading across the local waters. An
induced surface trough, north of the islands, will weaken the
pressure gradient and winds will shift from the east to east-
southeast by the latter part of the week.
