SURFACE WINDS: 
Tonight through Saturday evening: Easterly to northeasterly with a light to moderate breeze of 06 to 13 mph. 

SYNOPSIS:    

The Atlantic high pressure system will maintain light to moderate winds across the region. Pockets of moisture embedded in the wind flow may cause brief showers. 

Seas are expected to remain slight to moderate during the next few days. 

STATE OF THE SEA:  Slight to Moderate        WAVES/SWELLS: 4 to 5 feet  

SPECIAL FEATURES:  

1. A tropical wave located over the west-central tropical Atlantic is producing limited shower activity. Development, if any, of this system is expected to be slow to occur as it moves west-northwestward and approaches the Lesser Antilles early next week.

2. A large area of disorganized cloudiness and showers located, a few hundred miles, south of the Cabo Verde Islands is associated with a tropical wave and a broad area of low pressure. Environmental conditions appear somewhat conducive for gradual development over the next several days, and a tropical depression could form late this weekend or early next week while the system moves generally west-northwestward across the tropical Atlantic.

The Meteorological Department of St. Maarten will continue to monitor these systems and update the public accordingly. 

OUTLOOK through Sunday evening: Partly cloudy, becoming cloudy at times with isolated showers.
