SURFACE WINDS:
Today through Monday morning: East-northeasterly with a gentle to moderate breeze of 08 to 17 mph.
SYNOPSIS:
A relatively stable air mass will dominate the weather across the region. Additionally, varying concentrations of Saharan dust will bring hazy conditions to the local area. However, despite this there remains a possibility of overnight and early morning showers during this forecast period.
Seas are expected to peak near 6 feet during the next few days.
STATE OF THE SEA: Moderate WAVES/SWELLS: up to 6 feet
SPECIAL FEATURE:
Showers and thunderstorms associated with another tropical, wave located over the eastern tropical Atlantic, are showing signs of organization. However, recent satellite-derived wind data indicate that the system is not very well-defined at the surface. Some slow development of this system is possible over the next few days while it moves westward across the tropical eastern Atlantic.
