Synopsis:
A disturbance over the southwest Caribbean Sea, will cause a moist air stream in
an already unstable environment across the area of our island. Clouds will
increase periodically with rain and thundershower activity during the next 24
hours. This could lead to rough seas during thundershowers. Also, winds will be
relatively light during the next several days and therefore, outside of shower
activities, relatively calm seas is expected.

Mostly cloudy at times with possibility of rain showers and a thunderstorm.
Showers could be locally heavy.

Visibility:
25 to 40 kilometer.

Winds:
Mainly between east and south direction and light to gentle; force 2 to 3 (7 to
19 km/h, 4 to 10 knots).
In and around heavier showers, higher gusts moderate to fresh; force 4 to 5 (20
to 39 km/h, 11 to 21 knots).

.Synopsis...A broad area of low pressure is likely to develop
over the southwestern Caribbean Sea during the next day or so.
Gradual development is possible thereafter, and a tropical
depression could form late this weekend or early next week while
the system drifts generally northward or northwestward over the
central or western Caribbean Sea. Active weather will impact the
majority of the basin into the weekend with locally heavy rains
possible over portions of the western and central Caribbean
associated to the area of low pressure. Meanwhile, high pressure
N of the area will support fresh to strong NE to E winds in the
lee of Cuba, the Windward Passage, and south of Hispaniola,
including the Mona Passage, into the upcoming weekend. Large N to
NE long period swell over the NE Caribbean passages will subside
late on Sat.
