.SYNOPSIS FOR PUERTO RICO AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS WATERS...
A surface high pressure will strengthen over the western Atlantic
early this week. Another tropical wave will move across the local
waters on Wednesday. Therefore, moderate to locally fresh trades and
choppy seas are expected across the regional waters through midweek.
Increasing shower and thunderstorm activity is expected with the
passage of the tropical waves. Hazy conditions due to Saharan dust
are expected on Thursday and Friday.
