Although weather conditions will remain mostly stable on land, a swell continues to deteriorate the maritime panorama and generate dangerous swells this Friday.
Meteorologist Yidiana Zayas, of the National Weather Service (SNM), warned that a warning for small boat operators remains in effect until late at night in the waters of the Atlantic, the northwest and the Mona Passage.
In addition, a high risk of sea currents persists for the northwest, north, east and Culebra beaches.
Zayas added that a heavy undertow warning remains in effect in those areas due to breaking waves, which reach between 10 and 12 feet in height, conditions that will extend at least until this afternoon.
Looking ahead to the weekend, he anticipated a gradual decrease in the swell towards Saturday. However, the high risk of sea currents could persist.
By Sunday, the risk will drop to moderate, which implies that dangerous currents are still possible in the area, so caution is called for.
Weather-wise, Zayas explained that mostly clear skies are expected during the morning and most of the day, with a low probability of rain.
However, in the west and northwest, the probability of isolated showers could increase in the afternoon, although no flooding problems are expected.
