947 AM AST Thu May 23 2024

.SYNOPSIS FOR PUERTO RICO AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS WATERS...
The interaction of an induced surface trough and a surface high
pressure to the northeast will promote moderate to fresh east-
southeast winds. In addition, the proximity of a deep layer trough
close to the Dominican Republic will continue to enhance thunderstorm
development with the potential for squally conditions across the
regional waters and local passages through at least Friday. Winds are
forecast to diminish once again by Friday night.
