| WARNINGS: |

| GENERAL SITUATION: |
A weak pressure pattern is currently over the Northern and Northwestern islands. Winds will begin to gradually decrease across the remainder of the islands as a weakening surface trough over the Southeastern islands slowly moves westward toward Cuba through Thursday night. A cold front will approach the islands from the northwest and begin to shift over the island chain late Friday into early Saturday. By Sunday morning, a reinforcing cold front is expected to shift across the islands. High pressure will begin to build in the wake of the cold front late Sunday generating moderate to fresh winds across the islands through early next week. |
