A few scattered showers are possible this afternoon, as a weak tropical wave crosses the area. Overnight/early morning, mid to upper level conditions could further support occasional showers with possible isolated thunderstorm activity towards late Wednesday as a weak trough induced by ‘T.S Leslie’ pulls across the islands. On Thursday and Friday, occasional showers and possible thunderstorm activity

can be expected as another tropical wave crosses the islands with favourable mid to upper level conditions…Models indicate near 2 inches (50 mm) rainfall accumulation by Friday… will be monitored

Expect east south-easterly gentle to moderate (15 - 25 km/h) breeze to continue becoming temporarily gentle (10 – 20km/h) overnight. A more south-easterly flow during Thursday could result in equatorial moisture converging across the area.

Barometric Pressure readings should be around 1010 mb – 1012 mb, fluctuating on Thursday/Friday with next tropical wave crossing the islands.

Visibility is fairly good today, but expected to fluctuate with the passage of the tropical waves... expect temporary reduction by Wednesday afternoon and again late Friday.

Slight (0.5 - 1.2 m) seas on the west coasts could become smooth overnight, gradually rising by Thursday. On the east coasts, slight to moderate (up to 2.0 m) seas should fall to slight by nightfall, rising also on Thursday with northerly swells expected to propagate southward by ‘Leslie’ … Another High-Surf Advisory and Small-Craft Warning may be issued.
