TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK

The Atlantic High Pressure System will continue to build across the eastern Caribbean. This will support a relatively dry and stable atmosphere over the Lesser Antilles. As a result, a few brief showers are expected across the area during the forecast period.

A layer of thick Saharan dust is expected to cause hazy conditions over the region for the next few days.

A tropical wave located over the central Tropical Atlantic is moving westward

near 12 mph or 19 km/h.
