Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands Waters

AMZ700-030345-
1046 AM AST Thu May 2 2024

.SYNOPSIS FOR PUERTO RICO AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS WATERS...
A surface high pressure extending from the western to central
Atlantic will promote light to moderate trade winds across the
regional waters. Seas up to 6 feet are expected across the Atlantic
waters today due to a subsiding northeasterly swell and the moderate
trades. An induced surface trough to our north will yield lighter
east to east-southeast winds and promote shower and thunderstorm
development across the area through early next week.
