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

A wind surge, associated with a tropical wave forecast to move well 

south of the islands through Wednesday, will generate choppy and 

hazardous seas across the local waters. A surface trough will cross 

the regional waters Thursday into Friday followed by a vigorous 

tropical wave forecast for the upcoming weekend. The latter tropical 

wave, is being closely monitored by the National Hurricane Center as 

it continued to have potential for Tropical Cyclone development 

during the next five days. Interests in the local region should 

monitor the evolution of this system.
