Synopsis: A
steep pressure gradient associated with Atlantic High pressure will maintain
fresh to strong winds across the Northeast Caribbean. Also, a subsidence
pattern prevailing will keep the atmosphere generally dry and hazy for most of the
forecast period. However, at times, there is still the chance
of some quick passing showers as the brisk trade-winds push pockets of low
level moisture across the area.
Winds:
An ENE fresh to strong wind flow will prevail for the next four days. Speeds
will range between 14 and 20kts with
gusts at times reaching to near 28kts.
Seas: Rough
and dangerous seas will continue for the week with waves/swells peaking to near
10 feet at times. Hence, warnings remain in place for both small craft
operators and sea bathers against
hazardous marine conditions.
