Expect the weather conditions to remain unchanged for the next 24 to 48 hours. 

Again, there will be some sun with periods of rain. 

Winds will continue to be strong and from the NW to N: ranging in strength from

5 to 20 mph or higher. Waves will be 1 to 4 feet in height or higher. 

It will probably be Monday, at the earliest, before winds and seas resume their 

normal easterly pattern.

From this morning's water vapor (Fig 1) view, we can see the surface trough

still extends from Cuba to Gracias Adios and has become more active over

night. It continues to drift SE.
