…A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR ST. MAARTEN UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE…
WEATHER:
This afternoon through Sunday midday: Fair to partly cloudy and breezy with brief isolated showers possible.
Forecast High: 29°C / 84°F Forecast Low: 23°C / 73°F
Sunset Today: 6:17 P.M. Sunrise Tomorrow: 6:34 A.M.
SURFACE WINDS:
This afternoon through Sunday midday: East to east-northeast with a gentle to moderate breeze of 12 to 18 miles per hour.
SYNOPSIS:
The dominant Atlantic high pressure system will continue to weaken during this forecast period. Consequently, winds and seas are expected to gradually subside. Meanwhile, a relatively dry and stable atmosphere will restrict precipitation across the region.
Seas are subsiding but expected to peak near 08 feet during the next 24 hours. Hence, a small craft advisory is in effect for St. Maarten due to above normal seas. Sea bathers and occupants of small crafts are advised to exercise caution.
STATE OF THE SEA: Moderate to rough WAVES/SWELLS: 06 to 08 feet
SPECIAL FEATURE: None.
OUTLOOK through Monday midday: Fair to partly cloudy and breezy with isolated showers possible.
FORECASTER: Albert
