.SYNOPSIS FOR PUERTO RICO AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS WATERS...
High pressure building across the western Atlantic will support
moderate to locally fresh northeasterly trades through today. Winds
will turn more easterly during the weekend. Another pulse of a
northerly swell is forecast to arrive across the Atlantic waters
today, and lingering through the weekend. This swell will promote
hazardous seas and small craft advisory conditions once again.
