... SMALL CRAFT SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION OVER THE LOCAL WATERS ...

Weather:
Today through Friday midday: Partly cloudy with a chance of an isolated shower.

Forecast high will be 32°C, 90 °F. and low 25 °C, 77 °F.
Sunrise will occur at 5:58 A.M. and Sunset at 6:24 P.M.

Winds:
Today through Friday midday: East-Southeasterly and generally moderate, 5 to 15 miles per hour.

Synopsis: As tropical storm Fiona continues to move Northwest away from the local area expect an area of moisture associated with this system to combine with local effects today through early this evening to produce some cloudiness and possible isolated shower activity over parts of the islands. Otherwise, a weak high pressure will prevail across the local region with generally fair weather expected for the upcoming weekend.

Sea conditions: Moderate with waves between 3 and 5 feet in East swells. The highest waves will be in breakers off the East and North facing coasts and therefore, Small Craft  should exercise caution.

Tropical weather systems: Tropical storm Fiona continues to move Northwestward away from the local area. Tropical storm Gaston moves slowly over the Central Tropical Atlantic with no change in strength. This morning  Gaston weakened to a tropical depression and was located at about 1500 miles East of the Lesser Antilles. With maximum winds near the center about 35 miles per hour Gaston  is moving toward the West-Northwest near 7 MPH. The Meteorological Service of the NA & Aruba continues to closely monitor the development of tropical depression Gaston. All interests are advised to be informed and to continue monitoring the further progress of tropical depression Gaston.  For more information on these tropical cyclones, please visit our web page at: http://www.weather.an/cyclones/index.asp .
