SYNOPSIS FOR PUERTO RICO AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS WATERS

Hazardous marine conditions will continue over the next several days. A series of high pressure systems across the Atlantic will promote fresh to locally strong east-northeasterly winds throughout the forecast period. This will continue to result in choppy to rough seas across most regional waters and local Caribbean passages, hazardous for small craft operators. At this time, Small Craft Advisories remain in effect through at least 6 PM AST Sunday, though these may be extended as conditions will probably continue hazardous next workweek as well. Inexperienced mariners, especially those operating smaller vessels, should avoid navigating in hazardous conditions.
