.SYNOPSIS FOR PUERTO RICO AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS WATERS...
A surface high pressure extending from the western to central
Atlantic will maintain the local pressure gradient tight through
tonight. As a result, expect hazardous seas for small craft operators
due to confused seas associated with winds and a fading northeasterly
swell spreading across the local waters, then improving conditions
from Thursday onwards. However, an induced surface trough will shift
winds from the east to east-southeast by the latter part of the week
while a wet and unstable weather pattern is anticipated.
