BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
The remnants of Tropical Storm Dolly, now a strong tropical wave, are expected to move across the local area from late tonight through Sunday night. 🌩️ Squally weather, strong gusts, and hazardous seas are expected across most waters. Small craft advisory conditions are expected mainly for the eastern coastal waters of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Atlantic waters, and the Anegada Passage on Sunday and Monday. A weak surface high pressure building over the Azores by midweek will promote moderate trades through the workweek. The next tropical wave is expected to reach the local area by the end of the workweek.
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.
