The strong Atlantic high pressure system will continue to generate breezy conditions during the next few days. Meanwhile, low level cloud patches drifting with these  northeasterly trade winds will account for some brief isolated showers during the forecast period.  Sea conditions will continue to deteriorate with the high wind speeds. As a result, small craft operators and sea bathers are advised to be vigilant especially in the north and eastern waters.
