SPECIAL BULLETIN # 4 VALID UNTIL: Monday, January 29, 2018
...A SMALL CRAFT WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR ST. MAARTEN UNTIL TUESDAYJANUARY 30TH 2018...
The strong Atlantic high-pressure system along with a frontal boundary will continue to produce breezy to windy and showery conditions across the local area.
Additionally, hazardous seas are anticipated for the next few days, therefore a small craft warning remains in effect for St. Maarten. Swimmers and occupants of small craft are urged to stay on shore to prevent personal injury or death or material damage.
As a result of the large breaking waves, hazardous conditions can be expected on our northwest, north and east facing shores. Other sections of our coasts could also experience locally rough seas. Some coastal flooding is also possible in a few spots and owners of coastal facilities should try to protect their possessions against destructive waves, wherever this is possible.
