…A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR ST. MAARTEN UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE…
WEATHER:
This afternoon through Tuesday midday: Partly cloudy to cloudy and breezy with scattered showers.
Forecast High: 29°C / 84°F Forecast Low: 25°C / 77°F
Sunset Today: 5:53 P.M. Sunrise Tomorrow: 6:46 A.M.
SURFACE WINDS:
This afternoon through Tuesday midday: Easterly with a gentle to moderate breeze of 09 to 18 miles per hour and higher gusts.
SYNOPSIS:
A relatively dry, more stable air mass is spreading across the region. This will restrict significant rainfall accumulations across the local area. However, low-level pockets of moisture will continue to produce generally brief showers. Additionally, the Atlantic high-pressure system will maintain breezy conditions and rough seas.
Waves peaking up to 10 feet are expected for the next 24 hours. Consequently, a small craft advisory is in effect for above normal seas due to high winds. Small craft operators and sea bathers should continue exercising caution.
STATE OF THE SEA: Moderate to Rough WAVES/SWELLS: 7 to 10 feet
SPECIAL FEATURE: None.
OUTLOOK through Wednesday midday: Fair to partly cloudy and breezy with scattered showers.
FORECASTER: Pierre
