The Atlantic High Pressure System will generate moderate to brisk easterly winds around the Eastern Caribbean region for the next few days. Patches of low level clouds moving along this wind flow, will cause a few showers to develop over our region during the next 24 hours.

The presence of Saharan dust will continue to cause a reduction in visibility
and air quality for the next couple of days.

A tropical wave located over the central tropical Atlantic is moving westward near 15 mph or 24 km/h.
