BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
Moderate to locally fresh trades are expected to prevail across the northeastern Caribbean for the rest of the week. A weak tropical wave will bring increased showers and ⛈️ isolated thunderstorms from tonight through early Saturday. Following this, the remnants of Tropical Storm Dolly will approach the local area from Sunday into Monday. This will result in 🌩️ squally weather, strong gusts, and higher seas across most local waters. Small craft advisories may 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.
