Weather Summary for the U.S. Virgin Islands
National Weather Service San Juan PR
422 AM AST Sun Dec 10 2017

Variably cloudy skies prevailed across much of the region overnight,
as the prevailing easterly trade winds continued to transport occasional
patches of low to mid level moisture across the area. Periods of passing
showers accompanied these cloud fragments. Most of the showers were
of light to moderate intensity and left little accumulations. Winds
over land were calm to light and variable. Early morning low temperatures
were in the low to mid 70s along coastal areas.

A fair and stable weather pattern with mostly sunny skies can be 
expected for the rest of the day, as the surface high pressure north
of the region will remain the dominant weather feature. The moderate
trade winds today will however continue to bring occasional patches
of shallow moisture across the coastal waters and local islands. This
will be sufficient to support the development of a few brief afternoon
showers in isolated areas mainly downwind of the islands over the
coastal waters. Widespread precipitation and significant rainfall
accumulations are not anticipated across the islands for the next
few days. 

Across the regional waters...Mariners can expect slowly subsiding but
hazardous seas of 5 to 7 feet, and winds from east northeast between
10 to 15 knots with higher gusts. Small craft advisories will continue
in effect for most of the local waters through this afternoon. There
is a moderate to high risk of rip currents for some of the north and
east facing beaches of Saint Thomas, Saint John and Saint Croix.
