Barbados Meteorological Services issues a Small Craft and High Surf Warning as strong winds cause increasingly choppy sea conditions around the island. The warning is issued at 11:30 a.m. and is expected to remain in effect while conditions worsen.
Both outlets link the change in marine warning conditions to weather developments in the Atlantic. One report says the warning is expected to deteriorate further from Friday, August 14, with the most severe impacts forecast to follow. The other frames the situation as part of ongoing monitoring of a tropical wave that could bring strong winds, heavy rainfall and thunderstorms, along with rough seas. While the details focus on timing and expected severity, both sources agree on the upgraded advisory and the combination of maritime hazards and unsettled weather signals.
Neither outlet cites specific measurements or official guidance beyond the warning itself, but both present the warning as an alert to worsening sea conditions connected to the approaching system.
