Saturday July 09, 2011
For the third day, in a row, the weather remains unchanged. Skies will be sunny, with mid to high level cloudiness. This morning, winds will be light, at 10 mph or less, and vary in direction from NE to SE. The seas are relatively calm at 2 to 4 feet in height or less. Again, this afternoon and evening, winds will increase to 15 mph or higher. Expect winds and seas to increase slightly beginning on Sunday. There is a small chance of rain due to an area of diffluence aloft over the NW Caribbean. This is generating heavy rain showers N of 14N and W of 80W.
A tropical wave will pass through the NW Caribbean early next week. A second tropical wave will reach here later next week. Else where, tropical storm formation is not expected in the next 24 hours.
