.SYNOPSIS FOR PUERTO RICO AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS WATERS...
The nearby stationary boundary will continue to promote shower and
thunderstorm activity across the regional waters and passages through
the weekend. This will also increase wind speed from time to time
with the heaviest thunderstorm activity. Pulses of a long period
easterly swell will continue to reach the local exposed waters
through tonight. Another but stronger long period northerly swell,
associated to low pressure system over the northwestern Atlantic
waters, is expected to reach the Atlantic waters and local passages
around Sunday into the upcoming workweek. As a result, hazardous
marine conditions are anticipated. Please, continue to monitor the
forecast updates over the coming days.
