BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
Surface high pressure across the central Atlantic will continue to support a moderate east-to-east-northeasterly steering flow for the rest of today, becoming more east-to-east-southeast tomorrow onward. Saharan dust concentrations will gradually decrease late tonight into Thursday, followed by shower and thunderstorm activity across the local Atlantic waters and passages. A weak long-period northeasterly swell remains on forecast to arrive and spread across the regional waters by tomorrow, Thursday morning. Showers and ⛈️ isolated thunderstorms associated with a tropical wave are forecast to stay mainly over the local Caribbean waters and passages by late Friday night into Saturday. Winds may briefly become moderate to locally fresh as the tropical wave moves across the area, with seas between 3 and 5 feet, occasionally 6 feet; small craft must exercise caution.
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.
