“A frontal boundary in the vicinity of Hispaniola and moving east will see an increase in these conditions for the islands tonight. Notwithstanding the wind will remain on the lower side due to a very slack pressure gradient, long period swells resulting in dangerous breaking surfs will continue to invade mainly the northern coastlines,” the DDM says.

The Weather forecast for tonight is cloudy with showers and a high chance of thunderstorms with winds Southeast to east-southeast becoming more easterly by this evening with speeds ranging from 7 to 22 km/h or 4 to 12 knots with calm or variable spells.

Seas tonight will be 1.5 to 2.1 metres or 5 to 7 feet with northerly swells of 1.5 to 2.1 metres or 5 to 7 feet with the higher heights mainly for the northern coastal waters of the Atlantic with a high surf advisory in effect.
