.DISCUSSION...

THE 12Z SOUNDING INDICATED THAT THERE WAS STILL CONSIDERABLE
MOISTURE LINGERING OVER THE LOCAL ISLANDS BEHIND THE REMNANTS OF
T.D. 10...WITH THE PRECIPITABLE WATER OVER TWO INCHES. IN
ADDITION...THERE WAS CONSIDERABLE CAPE AND THE STABILITY INDICES
WERE ONLY SLIGHTLY LESS THAN THE 12Z SOUNDING FROM YESTERDAY...WHICH
YIELDED CONSIDERABLE CONVECTION. WITH THE DAY TIME HEATING THIS
MORNING AND THE LOW LEVEL WINDS NOT SUFFICIENT TO SHEAR APART THE
CONVECTION...THUNDERSTORMS FORMED EARLY THIS MORNING ALONG THE
CORDILLERA CENTRAL AND RESULTED IN MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL.

EARLIER THIS MORNING THERE WAS STILL SOME LINGERING MID LEVEL
CIRCULATION JUST TO THE NORTH OF PUERTO RICO...BUT RECENT SAT
IMAGERY AND LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGEST THAT THIS FEATURE SHOULD
MOVE TO THE WEST NORTH WEST AND HAVE LESS IMPACT ON THE REGION AFTER
TODAY.

GUIDANCE AND IMAGERY SUGGEST A SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR MASS APPROACHING
THE REGION FROM THE EAST...AHEAD OF A WEAK TROPICAL WAVE APPROACHING
6O WEST. THIS COUPLED WITH WEAKER NORTHEASTERLY FLOW SHOULD RESULT
IN LESS CONVECTION POTENTIAL FOR MONDAY.

FAIRLY TRANQUIL MARINE CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL
DAYS. BUT SOUTHEAST WINDS AND AN INCREASE IN SPEED ARE FORECAST
ACROSS THE NORTHEAST CARIBBEAN BY EARLY WEDNESDAY...BUT THE INCREASE
IN LOCAL SEAS IS ONLY EXPECTED TO APPROACH 4 TO 5 FEET...AND MAINLY
CONFINED TO THE OFF SHORE ATLANTIC WATERS.
