TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
Moisture and instability in lower atmosphere over our region will cause some cloudy periods with scattered showers over parts of the Lesser Antilles during the next 24 hours.

Saharan dust haze will continue to obscure visibility and reduce air quality
across the Eastern Caribbean region, during the next few days.

A tropical wave located about 1000 miles east of the Windward Islands is producing a small area of thunderstorm activity. This system has a slight chance of development during the next couple of days. The wave is expected to move westward near 13 mph or 20 km/h.
Two other tropical waves located over the eastern and far eastern tropical Atlantic are moving westward near 9 mph or 15 km/h.

The alert level at the La Soufriere volcano in Saint Vincent remains at Orange.
