Synopsis: Moisture and instability ahead of an approaching tropical wave, coupled with light winds and daytime heating could trigger periods of localized shower activity across the area today. By tonight, the bulk of the tropical wave will move into the area and further heighten the chances for shower and thunderstorm activity over and around the islands during that time. Given that some places are already saturated, along with the potential for moderate to heavy showers and thunderstorms during the next 24 hours, flash flood advisories may become necessary at some point during that time. Additionally, rainfall total in excess of 25.4mm or 1 inch is quite possible during the forecast period.
Weather today: Partly sunny skies initially, with periods of increased cloudiness and localized showers developing. Some showers could be locally heavy at times accompanied by an isolated thunderstorm.
Weather tonight: Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with a heightened chance of showers, some of which could be moderate to locally heavy at times accompanied by thunderstorms.
Winds: East-southeast at 7 to 19 km/h or 5 to 12 mph, becoming lighter and variable at times..
Seas: 1 to 1.5 meters or 3 to 5 feet..
Sunset today: 6:56 pm.
