The sea will be rough with wave heights of 5 to 7 feet in the day, and 7 to 9 feet at night.

A Small craft warning will be in effect .

The severe weather notification indicates that a tightening of the pressure gradient across the Northwest Caribbean will result in increased wind speeds to near Gale Force conditions across the Cayman Islands from Wednesday morning.
