CHRISTIANSTED — Today St. Croix will see variable cloudiness with a thunderstorm in parts and a high of 89, AccuWeather said.

Tonight St. Croix will experience clouds breaking and a thunderstorm in spots and a low of 80, according to AccuWeather.

A seasonal weather pattern will bring passing showers across the U.S. Virgin Islands and eastern Puerto Rico with afternoon activity across western Puerto Rico, the National Weather Service said.

A tropical wave will degrade weather conditions later tonight moving into Sunday, according to the NWS.

In a weather forecast, “clouds breaking” or “broken clouds” refers to a sky where clouds cover more than half of the sky but not the entire sky, typically between 5/8 and 7/8 coverage

In tonight’s forecast this means there will be breaks or openings in the cloud cover where you can see patches of the night sky.
