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

A surface high pressure over the Western Atlantic in combination
with a low pressure system across the central Atlantic will
allow moderate easterly winds across the region. This will favor
seas between 3-5 feet with occasionally seas up o 6 feet across
offshore Atlantic waters. Given the expected conditions, mariners
should stay tune for weather updates. Today some showers with
thunderstorms can result in localized hazardous marine conditions.
