DISCUSSION:   LINGERING INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH A RETREATING TROPICAL WAVE, INDUCED INTERMITTENT PERIODS OF CLOUDINESS AND SHOWERS ACROSS THE ISLANDS THIS MORNING. OBSERVATIONS RECORDED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOME ISLANDS AND THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY RADAR ECHOES AND SATELLITE IMAGERIES.

BASED ON MODEL GUIDANCE, CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO IMPROVE AS A REDUCTION IN MOISTURE RESTRICTS SHOWER ACTIVITY. HOWEVER, LOW LEVEL POCKETS OF MOISTURE ON THE WIND FLOW, MAY GENERATE PERIODS OF CLOUDINESS AND SHOWERS ACROSS THE ISLANDS OVER THE NEXT TWENTY-FOUR HOURS. SEAS ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN ELEVATED, THEREFORE, MARINE ADVISORIES REMAIN IN EFFECT. THIS IS IN AGREEMENT WITH THE LATEST ISSUED FORECAST THEREFORE NO AMENDMENTS ARE NECESSARY AT THIS TIME.
