Mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies and fair weather conditions should prevail across the islands. However, cloudiness and passing showers may increase late this afternoon into the evening hours across St. Croix. Similar conditions may affect the rest of the Virgin Islands overnight tonight into Saturday morning. Easterly winds on the order of 10-15 miles per hour are forecast across the local area today.
Small craft operators should exercise caution across the offshore Atlantic waters due to six foot seas and winds to 15 knots (18 miles per hour).
There is a moderate risk of rip currents for the northern and southern beaches of St. Croix and the northwestern beaches of St. Thomas.
