A broad surface high pressure over the Central Atlantic will promote east to southeast gentle to moderate winds today through Wednesday. The high pressure will strengthen and tighten the pressure gradient and increase winds, allowing seas to build across the Atlantic waters and exposed passages. Additionally, a long-period northerly swell arriving early Thursday will further worsen conditions. Choppy to rough seas are expected, with Small Craft Advisories likely by the end of the workweek. A gradual improvement remains possible by the weekend as winds and swell ease. $$ AMZ711-100800- Atlantic Waters of Puerto Rico and USVI from 10 NM to 19.5N- 301 PM AST Tue Dec 9 2025 .TONIGHT...East winds 10 to 15 knots with gusts up to 20 knots.
