BVI Marine Forecast Synopsis
Surface high pressure continues to move east across the central Atlantic while a frontal boundary advances across the western Atlantic, north of the local area. The interaction between the high pressure and an incoming tropical wave will tighten the pressure gradient tonight into early Wednesday, generating choppy conditions primarily across Caribbean waters and local passages. The wave will also bring increased shower and thunderstorm activity, accompanied by locally strong gusty winds and higher seas. As the wave departs late Wednesday into Thursday, another high-pressure system will move across the western Atlantic, maintaining mainly gentle to moderate easterly trade winds.
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.
