BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
Moderate to locally fresh trades are expected to prevail across the northeastern Caribbean through the rest of the week. A weak tropical wave will increase showers and ⛈️ isolated thunderstorms by early Saturday. Thereafter, Tropical Storm Dolly currently near 40W, is expected to open into a strong tropical wave and pass near the local area from Sunday into Monday. This will bring 🌩️ squally weather, strong gusts, and higher seas across most local waters. Small craft advisories could be issued as early as Saturday for the Atlantic offshore waters and the Anegada Passage.
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.
