.SYNOPSIS FOR PUERTO RICO AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS WATERS...
A long-period northerly swell will continue to spread across the
local Atlantic waters and passages through late tonight. At the same
time, a surface high pressure building over the western Atlantic
will promote light to moderate easterly winds through today,
becoming moderate to locally fresh by tonight. Thus, confused
moderate to rough seas will result in hazardous seas for small craft
during this period. Small Craft Advisories remain in effect over the
Mona Passage, Atlantic offshore and coastal waters through late
tonight. A gradual improvement in marine conditions is expected
later in the weekend. Another swell could reach the islands by the
middle of next week.
