Sunnier skies develop as the day progresses.
High pressure nosing in from the east forces a showery trough to our north to lift away from the island. Expect fair skies through tomorrow among generally moderate southerlies. Unsettling for the weekend as a low pressure passing to our west delivers a few showers and moderate to strong winds. Abating seas run mainly moderate throughout the forecast period.

STORM WATCH

BERYL
1. The remnants of Beryl are producing strong gusty winds and areas of
heavy rain over Puerto Rico, portions of Hispaniola, and the
adjacent Atlantic and Caribbean waters.  This system is expected to
move west-northwestward across Hispaniola this morning and over the
southeastern Bahamas later today.  Little development is expected
during the next day or so due to land interaction and unfavorable
upper-level winds.  The disturbance is forecast to turn northward
over the western Atlantic on Wednesday where upper-level winds could
become a little more conducive for the regeneration of a tropical
cyclone later this week.  Regardless of development, locally heavy
rains and gusty winds are likely over portions of Hispaniola and the
Bahamas as the remnants of Beryl move through those areas.
Additional information on this system can be found in High Seas
Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours…low…10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days…medium…50 percent.
