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

Light to gentle northerly winds are expected through Tuesday due to 

the effect of high pressure in the western Atlantic and Tropical 

Storm Epsilon well northeast of the local area. A northeasterly swell

generated by Epsilon is forecast to enter and spread across the 

Atlantic waters from Tuesday onwards. This will result in 

deteriorating and hazardous seas for the rest of the work-week and 

possibly into the upcoming weekend as a secondary northerly swell is 

also forecast to follow.
