Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands Waters

AMZ700-202200-
556 AM AST Sun Apr 20 2025

.SYNOPSIS FOR PUERTO RICO AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS WATERS...
A surface high pressure system over the western Atlantic will
continue to push remnant showers of a past frontal boundary across
the region while a nearby mid to upper level trough and a surface
trough produces favorable conditions for their development this
morning. This will lead to increased showers and thunderstorms
across the local waters. Increasing northeasterly winds and a weak
northerly swell will maintain hazardous marine conditions into early
next week. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect for the offshore
Atlantic Waters, Mona Passage, and coastal waters of northern and
northwestern Puerto Rico.
