Building high pressure north of the region will maintain choppy conditions across the Atlantic waters and Mona Passage, with winds strengthening tonight into Wednesday and becoming locally fresh. Seas will generally range from 3 to 5 feet, occasionally up to 6 feet across the Atlantic and Caribbean waters, and the local passages. Periods of passing showers will persist, and afternoon showers and ⛈️ isolated thunderstorms are expected to develop mainly near western Puerto Rico over the next few days. Thunderstorms may produce locally higher winds and seas, lightning, and reduced visibility.
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.
