.Synopsis for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands Waters...

A surface high pressure north of the region will maintain moderate
to locally fresh easterly trade winds through at least Friday,
producing choppy conditions across the Atlantic and Caribbean waters
and local passages. Winds will become mainly moderate over the
weekend into early next week, maintaining a moderate chop. A
disturbance moving through the region today will increase showers
and thunderstorms, potentially creating locally hazardous conditions
for small craft due to gusty winds, higher seas, lightning, and
reduced visibility. Lingering moisture will sustain unsettled
conditions into the early weekend.
