SYNOPSIS:   

A nearby large area of disturbed weather is producing some weak instability and ‘cool’ northerly yet gentle winds across the local region. As a result, brief showers may be possible throughout the forecast period. 

Rough seas and long-period swells are expected throughout most of this week. Consequently, a small craft advisory is in effect for St. Maarten. Small craft operators and swimmers are advised to exercise extreme caution. 

STATE OF THE SEA:  Moderate to rough       

WAVES/SWELLS: 6 to 8 feet 

SPECIAL FEATURE: A large and complex area of low pressure located several hundred miles northeast of St. Maarten, in the open waters of the central Atlantic, is producing a broad area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. It has a medium chance of formation through the next five days; however, poses no direct threat to St. Maarten. 

Although the Hurricane Season is officially over, the Meteorological Department of St. Maarten will continue to monitor the Atlantic and update the public accordingly. 

OUTLOOK through Thursday midday: Partly cloudy with brief isolated showers possible.
