BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
A weak surface high pressure north of the region will maintain gentle to moderate easterly trades of 5 to 15 knots through Monday, with winds gradually becoming east to southeast by late Monday into midweek as high pressure over the northeastern Atlantic becomes better organized. Seas will remain around 2 to 4 feet across the Atlantic and Caribbean waters, including the local passages. Passing showers may briefly increase winds and seas, while afternoon thunderstorms moving into the western coastal waters of Puerto Rico may produce locally strong gusts, torrential rainfall, and frequent lightning through the early evening hours.
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.
