MARINE FORECAST FOR SEAS AROUND CURAÇAO:

CODE YELLOW: A CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS.

CODE YELLOW: A CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR ROUGH SEAS..

Synopsis:
The tropical disturbance (AL98), currently located in the northern part of the
ABC Islands, continues to move slowly westward bringing locally heavy rain and
thunderstorms on our island and surroundings over the next 24 hours. This can
lead to some inconvenience in the usual places on the streets of Curaçao.

Weather

Partly to occasionally mostly cloudy with a chance of some moderate to heavy
showers and thunderstorms.

Visibility:
30 kilometer. Deteriorate in or near heavier showers.

Winds:
Southeasterly and light to moderate; force 2 to 4 (7 to 30 km/h, 4 to 16 knots).
During heavier showers, occasional gusts fresh to strong; force 5 to 6 (31 to 50
km/h, 17 to 27 knots).

Seas:
Slight to moderate with wave heights between 0.5 and 1.5 meters (2 to 4 feet).
But higher waves (up to 7 feet) are located mainly in the sea part to the south
and west of our island. For this reason, a cautionary message for rough seas
(Code Yellow) is still in force and swimmers and sailors are advised to exercise
caution when sailing in these conditions. Also, there is a little swells
adjacent to northern coasts.

.
Local wind forecast for the next 48 hours:
Southeasterly and light to moderate; force 2 to 4 (7 to 30 km/h, 4 to 16 knots).

During heavier showers, occasional gusts fresh to strong; force 5 to 6 (31 to 50
km/h, 17 to 27 knots).
.

Synopsis...A large area of showers and thunderstorms persists
over the eastern Caribbean Sea to the east of a tropical wave. The
system is producing winds to gale force, but still appears to
lack a closed surface circulation. Environmental conditions are
soon forecast to become more conducive for development, and a
tropical depression or tropical storm is expected to form within
the next day or two while the system slows its forward motion over
the central Caribbean Sea. There is a high chance for tropical
development in the next 48 hours. Regardless of development,
heavy rainfall, gusty winds, and rough seas will accompany this
wave.
