TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
The lower atmosphere over our region will remain fairly dry and stable for the next 24 hours and as a result very little rainfall is expected. The presence of some Saharan dust will help maintain the dry conditions and cause a reduction in visibility and air quality for the next couple of days.
A tropical wave located over the eastern tropical Atlantic is moving westward near 15 mph or 24 km/h.
