BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
A mid-to upper-level trough will maintain an unstable weather pattern across the regional waters, supporting periods of strong thunderstorms through at least Friday night. These storms may produce locally higher winds, frequent lightning, and reduced visibility. At the surface, high pressure over the western to central Atlantic will promote moderate to locally fresh east to southeast winds, resulting in moderate to choppy seas through at least early next week. In addition, a small northeasterly swell will continue to propagate across the Atlantic waters and Caribbean passages through early next week, contributing to hazardous marine conditions at times.
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.
