Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands Waters

AMZ700-112130-
418 AM AST Thu Dec 11 2025

.SYNOPSIS FOR PUERTO RICO AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS WATERS...
A surface high pressure will continue to build near the Azores
through the weekend. A weak cold front and another surface high
pressure will move from the western Atlantic into the central
Atlantic during the next few days. This will promote moderate to
locally fresh east to southeast trades across the local waters.
Increasing winds and a long period northerly swell will cause choppy
to rough seas, mostly over the Atlantic offshore waters. Small Craft
Advisory (SCA) conditions are expected across these waters, however,
SCA conditions can spread into portions of the Anegada and Caribbean
waters later this weekend.
