Lingering moisture and instability associated with the passage of a tropical wave are expected to maintain cloudiness with scattered showers and possible isolated thunderstorms across parts of the island chain during the next 12 to 24 hours.  

People in areas prone to flooding, landslides and falling rocks are advised to continue to exercise caution during tonight.

Meanwhile, another tropical wave located in the Tropical Atlantic currently has a high chance for development over the next two to five days. This system is expected to approach the area by late Thursday into Friday.

Residents are advised to closely monitor information on the progress of this tropical wave.

Moderate seas are expected during the next 24 hours with waves peaking near 8.0 feet. Small craft operators and sea bathers, particularly on the east coast, are advised to exercise caution.
