A plume of Saharan dust will continue to reduce shower activity, visibility

and air quality over our region during the next couple of days.

A weak tropical wave located a few hundred miles east of the lesser Antilles is moving quickly westward. This wave may cause some cloudiness and showers over the islands late tonight into Sunday.
