SYNOPSIS:
Moisture and instability associated with a passing low pressure area will cause cloudiness, showers and a chance of isolated thunderstorms during this forecast period. Residents and users of areas prone to flooding are advised to be vigilant as some showers may be heavy and can lead to street-flooding. Meanwhile, a weak surface pressure gradient will maintain light to moderate winds across the region.
Seas are expected to peak at 5 feet during the next few days.
STATE OF THE SEA: Slight to moderate
WAVES/SWELLS: 3 to 5 feet
SPECIAL FEATURES: Showers and thunderstorms associated with a broad area of low pressure currently affecting the Northeastern Caribbean have increased slightly. Although environmental conditions remain only marginally conducive, this system has a high (70%) formation chance through the next five days, as it moves slowly west-northwestward near the local region.
The Meteorological Department of St. Maarten will continue to monitor this system and update the public accordingly.
