BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
A developing low-pressure system north of Puerto Rico will weaken the local pressure gradient Wednesday through Friday, resulting in generally light winds shifting from southeast to south and southwest, with periods of variable winds. Showers and thunderstorms will increase across the regional waters, particularly Thursday and Friday, producing locally gusty winds, reduced visibility, and lightning. Seas will initially subside before a north-northwesterly swell arrives Friday and builds through the weekend, creating increasingly hazardous conditions for small craft across the Atlantic waters and exposed passages. Swell effects could persist into Monday, with another pulse of northeasterly swells arriving.
Seas are provided as a range of the average height of the highest 1/3 of the waves, along with the occasional height of the average highest 10 percent of the waves.
