SYNOPSIS:
Increased moisture and instability associated with an approaching tropical wave will account for periods of cloudiness, isolated showers, and possible thunderstorms during the next couple of days. Road-users are advised to be vigilant.
Gusty winds and slightly elevated seas can be expected throughout the next few days. Hence, small-craft operators and swimmers should exercise caution.
STATE OF THE SEA: Slight to moderate WAVES/SWELLS: 3 to 6 feet
SPECIAL FEATURE:
A tropical wave (i.e. invest 94L) located a couple hundred miles east of the Caribbean has a low (20-30%) chance of formation over the next 2 to 7 days, as the system moves generally west to west-northwest towards the Caribbean.
The Meteorological Department of St. Maarten will continue to monitor this system and update the public accordingly.
OUTLOOK through Saturday midday: Partly cloudy, becoming cloudy at times with isolated showers and isolated thunderstorms.
