.SYNOPSIS FOR PUERTO RICO AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS WATERS...

A surface high pressure over the central Atlantic and a passing weak

surface trough will cause winds to become east to southeast winds 

today. Choppy seas will continue across the Atlantic waters and local

passages due to a diminishing northeasterly swell. Seas increase on 

Monday and are expected to become hazardous for the local outer 

Atlantic waters, the nearshore Atlantic waters of Puerto Rico and the

Anegada Passage.
