BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
Showers and thunderstorms associated with trailing moisture from the remnants of Dolly will continue to redevelop across the regional waters tonight. Periods of torrential rainfall, frequent lightning, and strong gusty winds are possible with the strongest thunderstorms. A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect for the offshore Atlantic waters, where seas could reach up to 7 feet through late tonight. A weak surface high pressure building across the central Atlantic by midweek will promote moderate easterly trade winds through much of the workweek. The next tropical waves are forecast to reach the local waters toward the end of the workweek and early next week, bringing another increase in shower and thunderstorm activity.
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.
Coastal Waters — East of Puerto Rico, Vieques, Culebra & St. John
