349 AM AST Wed May 8 2024

.SYNOPSIS FOR PUERTO RICO AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS WATERS...
The subtropical surface high-pressure north of the islands extending
from the Western to Central Atlantic promotes light to moderate
east to northeast winds through Friday. Winds will then turn from the
east to east-southeast from the weekend into early next week as the
high pressure moves further eastward into the Atlantic. Pulses of
northeasterly swell will spread across the Atlantic waters and
Caribbean Passages through the weekend. Unstable weather conditions
will promote strong thunderstorms, especially during the afternoon
and evening.
