A series of low-level troughs may cause some isolated showers during this forecast period. However, the rainfall accumulations are expected to remain minimal due to limited moisture in the atmosphere. Meanwhile, the Atlantic high-pressure ridge will maintain a light to gentle wind flow.
Seas will continue to peak at 8 feet, particularly along our northern coasts. Consequently, a small craft advisory remains in effect for St. Maarten. Small craft operators and sea bathers should exercise caution.
STATE OF THE SEA: Moderate to Rough WAVES/SWELLS: 5 to 8 feet
SPECIAL FEATURES: None.
OUTLOOK through Sunday midday: Partly cloudy with isolated showers possible.
