.SYNOPSIS FOR PUERTO RICO AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS WATERS...
A surface ridge over the north-central Atlantic and broad surface
trough across the eastern Caribbean will generate moderate to locally
fresh east-northeasterly winds. A fading northerly swell and choppy
wind driven seas will continue to promote confused seas across the
Atlantic waters. An approaching upper level trough and induced
surface trough will continue to promote inclement weather across the
local waters for the next few days. A pulse of northeasterly swell is
forecast to arrive by Thursday increasing wave periods once again.
