Daily Forecast: St. Maarten-St. Eustatius-Saba (SSS Islands)

Today's Weather Update As of Thursday, 18 August, 2011 - 9:30am.

Almanac 2011: 230 days in, 135 days remaining Hurricane Season: 79 days in, 105 days remaining  Today's Temps High: 86F/30C, feels like 96F/36C Low: 78F/26C, feels like 83F/28C Local Weather Partly Cloudy and breezy, with a passing shower or two possible. An area of dry air is moving into the local region and will limit the chances for showers for the next 24 to 36 hours. However, local effects such as daytime heating may still induce a passing shower or two over parts of the SSS (and surrounding) Islands. Furthermore, mariners (boaters & beach-goers) should continue to exercise caution in the open waters, as the Small Craft Advisory is still in effect. Winds: are generally from the East at 10 to 25 miles per hour, with occasional higher gusts. Seas: are moderate to fairly rough with wave heights between 3 to 6 feet, and gradually decreasing by tomorrow. Tropical Weather Active Storms: None. * A tropical wave, located in the Western Caribbean, is still showing signs of developing into a tropical depression (possibly by later today) and will minimally impact parts of Jamaica and the Cayman Islands through Saturday.  * Elsewhere, a tropical wave located almost mid-way between Africa and the Lesser Antilles is expected to reach the local region by the end of the weekend. This system is moving into warmer waters and conditions are becoming more favorable for development. However, it is still too soon to determine what land areas will be eventually affected. * Additionally, a new tropical wave is over the extreme Northern tip of Africa and will emerge over the Atlantic Ocean during the next day or so. It is too soon to determine if this system will eventually develop. Special Weather None.  Outlook for tomorrow  Partly Cloudy and HOT, with a shower or two possible.            Today's Sunset: 6:37pm Tomorrow's Sunrise: 5:55am Do you have any Weather Photos?
