The lower atmosphere across the southern Lesser Antilles remains sufficiently moist and unstable to produce some cloudy periods and scattered showers over the area during the next 24 hours.
Saharan dust haze will continue to cause a reduction in visibility and air quality around our region during the next 24 hours.
