MARINE FORECAST FOR SEAS AROUND CURAÇAO:
.
CODE YELLOW: A CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IS IN EFFECT
.

Synopsis:
A disturbance combined with the Intertropical Convergence Zone continues to
influence the weather in the region during the next 24 hours. There will be
moments that will be dry but also moments with possible showers accompanied by
thunderstorms on our island and surroundings. This, mainly caused by an increase
in humidity and also weak wind strength that will favor significant cloud
development in our region. In addition, the wind will generally be from the
south during the day and brings with it that the sea may be a little rough
around these areas.

Weather

Occasionally mostly cloudy with some showers and thunderstorms moments at times

Visibility:
30 kilometer. Deteriorate in or near heavier showers.

Winds:
Southeasterly and increasing from light to gentle; force 2 to 4 (7 to 19 km/h, 4
to 16 knots).

Seas:
Tranquil with wave heights around 1 meter (3 feet). Higher waves (up to 4 feet)
can be expected later today.

.
Local wind forecast for the next 48 hours:
Becoming gradually more easterly and a light to gentle breeze; force 2 to 3 (7
to 19 km/h, 4 to 10 knots).
Occasionally moderate fresh in gusts; force 4 to 5 (20 to 39 km/h, 11 to 21
knots).
.

Synopsis...Light to gentle, with locally moderate, winds and
slight seas are expected over the Caribbean today. Moderate to
locally fresh trade winds and moderate seas will develop over the
central and eastern Caribbean this weekend as high pressure builds
N of the area. Fresh to strong winds and rough seas will
accompany a tropical wave as it moves across the tropical Atlantic
waters this weekend, and into the eastern Caribbean Sun night.
Gradual development of this system is possible, and there is a low
chance of tropical development within the next 7 days. Regardless
of development, this system is expected to bring building seas,
heavy rainfall and gusty winds over the tropical Atlantic waters
this weekend and across the Caribbean Sea much of next week.
