BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
A weak local pressure gradient will continue to favor generally light southwesterly winds today, becoming variable at times while gradually turning more westerly. Shower and thunderstorm activity is expected to increase across the regional waters today and Friday, particularly over the Atlantic waters and northern portions of the local passages. Stronger thunderstorms may produce locally gusty winds, reduced visibility, and frequent lightning. Seas will remain relatively subdued through today before a long-period north- northwesterly swell begins to arrive on Friday. Additional swell energy is expected through the weekend, potentially resulting in hazardous conditions for small craft, particularly across the Atlantic waters and exposed passages. However, uncertainty remains regarding the strength of the incoming swell and the extent of marine impacts. Additional pulses of northeasterly swell may arrive early next week.
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.
