BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
Light to moderate easterly trade winds will continue to prevail across the region over the next few days. Seas are expected to remain below small craft advisory criteria through the end of the week. Today, a weak tropical wave will continue to bring showers and thunderstorms across portions of the regional waters. This will elevate localized lightning hazards and bring gusty winds. From Thursday onward, expect hazy skies across the northeastern Caribbean due to moderate concentrations of Saharan dust.
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.
