.DISCUSSION...
DIFFUSE FRONTAL REMNANTS REMAINED OVER THE OFF SHORE ATLC WATERS
TODAY...WITH ENE FLOW GENERALLY ACROSS THE ATLC...AND ESE FLOW
GENERALLY ACROSS THE LOCAL CARIB...PROVIDING SUFFICIENT MOISTURE TO
COMBINE WITH DIURNAL PROCESSES TO PRODUCE NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
ISOLATED AFTERNOON TSTORMS ACROSS THE ENCHANTED ISLE...AND ISOLATED
HEAVY SHOWERS IN STREAMERS OFF THE NW COASTS OF THE V.I. STLT
IMAGERY SUGGESTS A LLVL DEFORMATION ZONE FROM THE LEEWARDS ENE AND
THIS SHOULD CONTINUE TO PRODUCE A LITTLE LLVL CONVERGENCE TO ITS
WEST...ALLOWING WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS TO MOVE INTO THE VIRGIN
ISLANDS AND E/SE P.R. OVERNIGHT. DRIER LLVL AIR AND LIKELY AT LEAST
A MODERATED LAYER OF SAL IS THEN EXPECTED TO ADVECT INTO THE AREA
THROUGH THURSDAY FOR MORE ISOLATED SHOWERS AT NIGHT...AND MUCH
SMALLER AREAL COVERAGE AND INTENSITY ACROSS P.R. DURING THE
AFTERNOONS.

SOMEWHAT WEAK AND MODERATE NNW SWELLS BEGINNING TO MOVE INTO THE
LOCAL WATERS THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL PEAK LATE TONIGHT THROUGH
WEDNESDAY MORNING. SELY WIND FLOW WILL THEN BUILD INTO THE REGION
FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK FOR CHOPPY SEAS ACROSS THE CARIB...AND
LESSER LOCAL ATLANTIC WATERS. AFTERNOON SEA BREEZES SHOULD DEVELOP
NORTH AND SOUTH COASTS EACH DAY DESPITE SE BL FLOW.
