couple of days, causing low visibility and poor air quality.

A tropical wave located a few hundred miles east of the Windward Islands is
moving rapidly westward near 23 mph or 37 km/h. This system is expected to cause
some showers and possibly thunderstorms over the southern Windward Islands from tonight.

westward near 23 mph or 37 km/h. This wave is expected to bring cloudiness,
showers and thunderstorms over the Eastern Caribbean on Wednesday and Thursday.
