WEATHER SUMMARY
Relatively dry and stable conditions are expected over the islands as the Atlantic High Pressure system continues to dominate the region.
Saharan dust haze will continue to cause reduced visibility and poor air quality around the Eastern Caribbean region for the next few days.
The La Soufriere volcano in Saint Vincent still remains active, thus additional eruptions and ash plumes are possible at any time. Interests in Saint Lucia and the region are advised to continue monitoring official news media outlets for updates.
