Meteorological Department St. Maarten
SPECIAL WEATHER BULLETIN
DATE ISSUED: Thursday, December 24, 2020 TIME: 18:30hrs (22:30UTC)
The tight pressure gradient across the region will gradually slacken as a low-level trough continues to move away from the region. Consequently, the support for hazardous sea conditions will diminish through Friday.
Hazardous marine conditions are expected for the next 24 hours, peaking up to 10 feet.
Seas will gradually subside throughout Friday. Consequently, the small craft warning has been downgraded to an advisory and will remain in place until Friday evening.
Sea bathers should avoid swimming. Small craft operators and persons with interests along the coast should continue to exercise extreme caution. Some coastal flooding is also possible.
