Synopsis: As tropical storm Fiona
continues to move Northwest away from the local area expect an area of moisture
associated with this system to combine with local effects today
through early this evening to produce some cloudiness and possible isolated
shower activity over parts of the islands. Otherwise, a weak high pressure will
prevail across the local region with generally fair weather expected for the
upcoming weekend.
Sea
conditions: Moderate with
waves between 3 and 5 feet in East swells. The highest waves will be in breakers
off the East and North facing coasts and therefore, Small Craft should exercise
caution.
Tropical
weather systems: Tropical storm Fiona continues to move Northwestward away
from the local area. Tropical storm Gaston moves slowly over the Central Tropical

depression Gaston. All interests are
