Service.

.DISCUSSION...
Benign trade wind conditions anticipated early in the forecast
period as trades undergo modest strengthening and maintain isolated
to scattered showers into Thursday. A short to medium period E
swell emanating from former TC Norbert will advance through area
waters during the forecast period, superimposing on a rather small
background trade wind swell as it does so. Seas will largely be
dominated by steadily building long period energy originating from
the SW to SSW. As the remnants of TC Norbert reach the islands
during the latter half of this week, the probability of showers will
increase. Isolated thunderstorms will also be possible as early as
Thursday night.
