SYNOPSIS:    

The strengthening Atlantic high-pressure ridge will account for breezy conditions and deteriorating seas for the next several days. Patches of moisture transported by brisk winds may trigger a few, brief passing showers across the local area. Meanwhile, low concentrations of Saharan dust are producing light haze across the region.   

Increasing winds and incoming northerly swells are predicted to keep seas elevated. Swells up to 8 feet can be expected during this forecast period. Further deterioration is forecast as the week progresses. Consequently, a small craft advisory is now in place for St. Maarten until further notice. Small craft operators and sea bathers should exercise caution.  

STATE OF THE SEA: Moderate to rough        WAVES/SWELLS: 6 to 8 feet  

SPECIAL FEATURES: None.
