WEATHER SUMMARY
A weak surface trough will continue to cause some cloudy periods with showers over the central portion of our region during the next 24 hours. Moisture and instability over the extreme southern portion of the region will result in some cloudy periods with showers over that area during the forecast period.
An area of Saharan dust haze together with volcanic ash emanating from La Soufriere Volcano in St. Vincent, will cause a reduction in visibility and air quality over our region for the next couple of days.
