TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK

The Atlantic High Pressure System will generate light to moderate easterly winds across the Eastern Caribbean for the next few days.

  A weak trough system will generate occasional cloudiness and a few showers over the region during the next 24 hours.

  The Saharan dust in our region is becoming less concentrated and as a result visibility and air quality will improve over the next few days.

Three tropical waves located over the Central, Eastern and far Eastern Tropical Atlantic are all both moving westward near 14 mph or 23 km/h.   

Tropical cyclone formation is not expected over the Tropical Atlantic during the next five days.
