SYNOPSIS:   

Abundant moisture and instability associated with a nearby area of low-pressure will maintain cloudy periods, breezy conditions, isolated to scattered showers, and thunderstorms throughout the forecast period. Some of these showers may be heavy and can result in additional flooding in flood-prone and low-lying areas. As such, the flood watch remains in effect through Monday. Residents and motorists are urged to continue exercising caution. 

Moderate to rough seas are expected through the next couple of days. Hence, the small craft warning remains in effect, as waves are predicted to peak at 12 feet. Sea users and persons with interests along the coast should exercise extreme caution to protect life and property. 

STATE OF THE SEA:  Moderate to rough          

WAVES/SWELLS: 7 to 12 feet 

SPECIAL FEATURE: A low-pressure system is expected to develop within the next couple of days, as it continues to organize near the northeastern Caribbean. It currently has a high chance for development during the next five days.
The Meteorological Department of St. Maarten will continue to monitor the Atlantic and update the public accordingly. 

OUTLOOK through Tuesday midday: Cloudy and breezy with isolated showers and possible thunderstorms.
